All are invited to join us as we prepare ourselves and the synagogue for the High Holy Days. The event will begin at 7:45 with a beautiful Havdala service will be followed by a "Sweep" of the synagogue as we engage in various tasks to prepare our spiritual home for the High Holy Days. Help us:

​

• Roll Torahs

Refreshments will be provided along with a few fun repentance activities.

​

After our “Sweep” and time for some snacks and a “fun” repentance activity, we will gather in the sanctuary for the brief Selichot service led by Rabbi Cohen. The service gives us a taste of the High Holy Day prayers & melodies as we prepare ourselves spiritually for the New Year.

​

The service will conclude with the sounding of the Shofar.
