Moving the Bimah, Sunday, September 10, 1:00 pm  

Have you ever wondered how the Bimah moves to its new location for the High Holidays? This year you can find out and help us move it! We need a group of people to help the Cantor move the Bimah on Sunday, September 10 at 1:00 pm . All you need to bring is yourself and be willing to help push a big object. We can also use help moving chairs if you can't bend. 

 

We will also need volunteers to help us set up the prayer books for the services. This will take place at 11:00 am on Saturday, September 16 and 23 after Torah Study.  Remember our ancestors carried the Ark for 40 years in a desert.  All we need is a few hours of your time in an air conditioned building. Thank you in advance for helping us prepare for the Holidays.

Calling Our Teen Singers for the High Holy Days!

From Cantor Sobel:  "As many of you know, we introduced a new family service format last year featuring modern music with a backup band. This year we would like to build on that success by adding a group of teen singers (post bar/bat mitzvah through high school) to add to the ruach (spirit) and positive energy of those services. The main requirement is that you want to sing and are willing and available to sing at the family HH days services on the day of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur as follows:

Rehearsals begin Saturday, September 2, at 10:00 am. "If you are interested, please let me know at [email protected]."
