Shalom! Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are fast approaching. Rabbi Joshua Waxman will be leading our High Holy day services this year. Ruth Mermelstein and Cheryl Berson, extraordinary teachers and mothers, are planning our children and teen programming. The teen and family services that have been so well received in the past, will of course continue this year. We are very excited to continue this enhancement to our high holiday observance.
Other "extras" will include the adult study havurah's engaging discussion series the mornings of Rosh Hashanah (first day only) and Yom Kippur, tashlich following Rosh Hashanah second day services, meditation and a Healing service as part of Yom Kippur afternoon, and of course, spiritually fulfilling services in the main sanctuary. For those who enjoyed it last year, we will again have a quiet space , please read about it by clicking on the attachment below.
Members have been sent a packet containing all of the schedules, events, and activities, and the forms to purchase guest tickets and submit names to be included in the Yizkor Book. These forms must be returned by August 28th.
Please note that there are restrictions for parking at our beautiful home in Fort Washington. You must read the attachment below with all of our parking information.
