One of the most beautiful and powerful rituals of the Yamim Noraim season is Tashlich. “Tashlich” literally
translates as “you shall cast,” and is a word used by the prophet Micah when he calls upon the Jewish
community to cast their sins upon the water. Metaphorically, Micah was imploring the people to cleanse
themselves of their mistakes and to repent. A more visual way to cast off our misdeeds, this Rosh Hashanah afternoon ritual is great for the whole family. Bring comfy shoes, some old bread, your singing voice, and a shofar if you have one!

Bishop Godbee and three members from the River Church will be joining us for an after services discussion about the Racial Justice Task Force trip to DC.

Our tots, ages 5 & under, and their grownups are invited to join us for a fun service with learning and singing on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur!

Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are the perfect opportunity to connect as a community, reflect as a family, and move into the new year with more joy, awe and love. Together, we’ll sing, discuss, and explore as we move through the prayers and stories of the High Holidays. It’s sure to be interactive, musical, and AWEsome!

This year's M.o.B. sponsored Sukkah build will take place at Beth El starting at 10:00 am on Tuesday, September 26.  Last year's build was completed in a record time of 2 hours with a little more than 10 volunteers helping with the build.  If we can get 10-15 volunteers to help, we can break last year's record!

What to bring (not mandatory, but helpful): Work gloves, a step stool or small "A" style ladder, and a positive can-do attitude.

The M.o.B. will sponsor light refreshments for the build volunteers, and volunteers are not required to be M.o.B. members, male, or identify as male.
