Chag Sameach!
As we enter the climax of the this month of Holy Days - Hoshana Rabbah, Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah, we are are also dealing with all the caution necessary to keep us all as safe as we can -with, we continue to pray, G-d's help and blessing for health.
Simchat Torah will not be the same as last year, but we will rejoice and overcome all the obstacles to that rejoicing whilst keeping all necessary precautions. I should also like to share that our congregants have been very committed to all the necessary COVID precautions and our staff and volunteers have worked tirelessly all month to make the services possible and safe.
Therefore, if you are considering joining us in person for these last and loftiest days of the this great season please rest assured that all state-recommended guidelines - and even care beyond those guidelines - have been followed. I will be listing all events, services, and classes day by day in this weeks email, so just scroll down to find anything you need for a given day
