Leo Baeck, Berlin, 1935


Jews begin the observance of Yom Kippur tonight at Kol Nidre services. A couple of years ago a Christian friend asked to join us at our service. During the service she pointed in our prayer book to an adaptation of the prayer composed by the progressive German Rabbi Leo Baeck for delivery in German synagogues during the Kol Nidre service on October 10, 1935.
