Shabbat Re’eh, Friday evening services, and high holiday planning
Congregants,As we do every Friday night, we will have services tonight at 7:00 pm.
Cantor Ben Moshe’s Message The week to come marks the beginning of the month of Elul, when we begin to think about the upcoming High Holidays. We turn our thoughts inward, toward self-improvement and repentance. The shofar is sounded in the morning, calling us to wake up and examine our ways. Currently, our sanctuary here at Beth El is being renovated. Come Rosh Hashanah, we will be meeting in a renewed and revitalized space. This is also a time to renew and revitalize ourselves. Unlike the synagogue building, though, we humans have the privilege of being able to renew ourselves every year, and indeed every day. While we temporarily pray in the social hall, let us remember that renovation is not only for physical space, but for the spirit as well.
High Holiday Schedule
Rosh Hashanah is a little over a month away and we have begun preparations for our services. See attached schedule for times and dates for Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot.
You can also prepare for the high holidays by buying the high holiday cards children created. More information here: Cards
We look forward to seeing everyone at services tonight at 7pm.
Shabbat shalom,
Congregation Beth El
