Moving the Bimah - Sunday, September 2 at 10:00 am
Have you ever wondered how the Bimah moves to its new location for the High Holy Days? Well this year you can not only find out but can help us move it. We need a group of people to help move the Bimah on
Sunday, September 2 at 10:00 am. All you need to bring is yourself and be willing to help push a big object.
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 8 and 15 after Torah Study as well as volunteers to help move the Bimah back on
September 23.
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 High Holy Days.
