Special Events

Selichot

Saturday, September 4, 8:30 p.m - Program with the Clergy, 9:30 p.m. Dessert Reception, 10:00 p.m. Service

Our Shir Shalom choir will join the clergy in leading Selichot. This annual Service of Forgiveness marks the beginning of the High Holy Day season. Traditionally, Jews gather late at night on the Saturday before Rosh HaShanah to prepare for the Days of Awe. The late hour and the themes articulated in the liturgy begin to set the tone for the days ahead. Together we shall prepare our hearts and minds.

Erev Rosh HaShanah

Wednesday, September 8, 7:30 p.m. - Congregational Service

Rosh HaShanah literally means “Head of the Year” and refers to the beginning of a new Jewish year. This holiday, on the first day of the month of Tishri, provides an opportunity for each of us to examine our actions during the preceding year.

Rosh HaShanah

Thursday, September 9 - 9:00 a.m. Family Service, 10:45 a.m. Congregational Service, 4:00 p.m. Tot Service.

After the conclusion of the Tot Service,at 5 p.m., we will walk to the Lake and participate in Tashlich (to cast or throw). It is a tradition on Rosh HaShanah to go to a river or a stream to cast our sins symbolically into the water. See the August D'var for more details on High Holy Day Events, ticket policies, and further information.
