5772 High Holy Days 2011
plus Sukkot and Simchat Torah
 |
Elul, the month preceding the High Holy Days, is traditionally set aside for reflection. Now in its
7th year of publication,
Jewels of Elul is a collection of stories, musings and anecdotes.
On each of the 29 days of Elul, the Jewels of Elul web site will post an inspirational 'Jewel'
from an amazing group of individuals. We hope you will join us in reflecting, and in sharing the inspiration.

S'lichot, Saturday, September 24
Program, 8:45pm. Join us when we gather to watch
The Shawshank Redemption, a 1994 film starring Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman.
Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are holidays immersed in dreams, thoughts and feelings of friendship, survival, honesty, patience and responsibility, and
The Shawshank Redemption touches each of these elements of life, focusing on freedom and liberating power of hope.
After a lively discussion, we’ll enjoy dessert together, followed by dedicating the plaques that were placed on our Memorial Board over the past year. Memorial plaques will be dedicated at
11:30pm.
Service, approximately 12:00midnight. The S'lichot service
will last one hour.
