High Holiday Reservation Form Can Be Found Below
***
Dear Friends,
With the month of Elul upon us, the Jewish new year and the High Holidays are just around the corner. Allow us at Young Israel of West Hartford to be among the first to wish you a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.
It is during this time of year that we all begin to make the necessary preparations both physically and spiritually to be ready for the approaching days of awe and holiness. It is our hope together we will be able to make this year’s Yamim Noraim (High Holidays) deeply meaningful and spiritually uplifting.
Over the course of the last couple of years, we have been blessed with incredible growth within our community and shul. A wonderful consequence of this growth is that we can no longer can all fit in one minyan in our sanctuary. Therefore, as we did last year, we will be convening two minyanim for Rosh HaShana day: an early hashkamah minyan beginning at 6:15 AM downstairs to allow for youth groups to follow at 10:15 AM, and the regular main minyan upstairs (see the Seating Policies page for more information). Both minyanim will be joined by a professional chazan and will be addressed by Rabbi Brander. Seating in both minyanim will be by request and on a first come first served basis. We hope and will work hard to try to accommodate everyone.
Please remember, seats cannot be reserved until all past commitments (including dues and other pledges) are paid in full or a payment arrangement is worked out. Maria will be sending out current statements in the coming days. At the same time, no one will be turned away for lack of funds. If needed, please speak confidentially to Rabbi Brander or Les Loew.
Sincerely,
Les Loew
Dr. Les Loew, Coordinator
