Shanah Tovah from all of us at Congregation Kol Ami. On behalf of the clergy, staff and Board of Trustees I want to wish you and your family a very sweet and happy 5783. As you sit down to your Rosh Hashanah festive meal we have included this special blessing as the New Year begins.
We look forward to welcoming you tonight, tomorrow and, Tuesday morning to services, both in person and online, at Temple! And tonight, following services we will celebrate our temple's 30th anniversary with a special Champagne New Year Oneg!
Don't forget to familiarize yourself with all the details for parking and check in if you are coming in person. Come early and allow time. And if you are joining us online, the zoom room will open 20 minutes before services so you can be checked in. Information is below.
Again, Happy New Year. May it be filled with abundant blessings for you, your family and friends and our Congregation.
Shanah Tovah u’metukah,
Rabbi Denise L. Eger
A New Years prayer for you holiday table:
With the setting of this evening's sun, united with Jews of every place and time, we proclaim a new year of hope. Creator of the Universe, let Your light and Your truth come forth to lead us into the New Year. Let the holiday flames we shall kindle be a symbol of Your eternal light. Let the fruit of the vine we shall bless remind us of the joy and goodness we have experienced during the past year. May our worship on Rosh Hashanah fill us with eagerness to embrace life and hallow it. Even as the observance of Rosh Hashanah reminds us that all we say and do stands under judgment: our own and God's, the sounds of the shofar calls us to turn from old errors and failures and to look ahead with fresh hope and determination.
May the New Year bring renewed strength and lovingkindness to our People Israel and the world. May the New Year move us to work for justice, equity, harmony and peace making the world bright with God's Presence. Amen.
