Beit Chavurah's HIGH HOLYDAY SERVICES are coming soon! · · Please save the dates! EREV ROSH HASHANNAH 5783 -- Sunday, September 25th, 2022 (at 6:00 p.m.) -- Our Rosh Hashannah Evening service begins the Jewish New Year. It is a joyous, festive service and includes the blowing of the shofar. There will be an "Oneg" and Kiddush following the service; members and guests are encouraged to bring a little "nosh" -- i.e., something to eat! KOL NIDREI -- Tuesday, October 4th, 2022 (at 6:00 p.m.) -- Yom Kippur Eve (“Kol Nidrei”) begins the holiest day of the Jewish Year. This is a beautiful, prayerful service and includes the chanting of the Kol Nidrei prayer by our Rabbi and Cantor, Rich Altman. Yom Kippur is a day of fasting; so there will be no refreshments or Kiddush following the service. |

During the Simchat Torah holiday, the last Torah portion (from
Deuteronomy) is read, as well as the first verses of the first portion
(from Genesis), thereby indicating that Talmud Torah– the study
of Torah– never ends. The idea that Torah study is cyclical finds
its expression in the joyous ritual of dancing around and around
the Torah, known as hakkafot ( |
).
