Rabbi Bob Jacobs led a Kol Nidre service at The Laugh Factory in Los Angeles. Participants sang songs, read passages from prayer and song books, and listened to explanations of the evening service. People held cards to read names of recently passed relatives and friends during the Mourner's Kaddish. At the end, guests greeted each other and spoke to the Rabbi before leaving.
