Dear Temple Beth Shalom Members and Friends, we eagerly look forward to sharing the 2025/5786 High Holidays with you! Our new Rabbi Will Guyster hit the ground running and is lovingly preparing the outlines and studying the parshot for this September and October. We wanted you to have the schedule so you can prepare to observe and worship with us.
If you are not yet a member of Temple Beth Shalom you are welcome to attend the High Holidays with us, and request you support our efforts to maintain our Jewish community at this time and all year round with a donation ($100 is standard, but we will accept more). We would love to consider your donation a partial payment of your first year of membership dues.
Please contact us if you plan to attend, and if you will accept one or more of the honors to fulfill on the bimah:
- Yom Tov Candle Lighting
- Aliyah (come to the bimah to give Torah Blessings)
- Hakafah (carry Torah from the bimah around the congregation and back up)
- Hagbah (lift Torah after portion is read)
- G’lilah (assist with dressing Torah and returning her to the Ark)
- Haftarah Blessings (these are a little bit extra for the High Holidays)
- Readings in English — translations of the parsha, Haftarah portion, responsive readings from Gates of Repentance
You will receive a prompt to come up to the bimah, so you won’t have to guess. Members and early responders will receive priority in assigning honors, but no better way to strengthen your relationship to your synagogue and community than by helping to deliver the service, so let us hear from you.
