Weekly Message from the Board President
Happy High Holy Days! The most important part of the year is upon us. Rosh Hashanah starts Wednesday. There will be a service for children at 6:30 PM, followed by one for grownups at 7. Both will take place in the large sanctuary at the Synagogue. Zoom is also available for both, starting at 6:30 PM. Here’s the Zoom info: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88076001159. Meeting ID: 880 7600 115.
On Thursday, Rosh Hashanah morning services begin at 9:30 AM, and they are also on Zoom. The Zoom call begins at 9:00. Zoom info: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89696157990. Meeting ID: 896 9615 7990
They’ll be followed by Tashlich, at Martin Luther King, Jr. Park, at 1:30 PM. Tashlich will not be on Zoom.
For the record, the new year is 5785.
Yom Kippur is next week, starting the evening of Friday, October 11. We’ll be combining the Shabbat service with the Yom Kippur service, and we’ll start everything off with a Children’s Service at 6:00 PM. The full service will begin at 6:30 (that’s half an hour earlier than our usual Shabbat service.) We’ve got it all on Zoom, starting at 6:00 PM. Zoom info: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84687533228. Meeting ID: 846 8753 3228
Our favorite part of Yom Kippur is the Break the Fast, and Sisterhood always does a great job preparing the food. Break the Fast will take place around 7:30-7:45. If could be earlier, if the Rabbi notices all the frowning faces in the sanctuary.
Yom Kippur doesn’t end all of the important holidays. Still ahead are Sukkot and Simchat Torah.
And we have some other things going on to tell you about. Tuesday is the Rabbi’s second session of his new Intro to Judaism class. It meets Tuesday evenings at the Synagogue and on Zoom, from 7 to 8:30 PM. You can sign up on the website, and we have a flyer about it on the website as well.
Next Monday is the one-year anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel. We’ll be commemorating the anniversary with a program in the large sanctuary of the Synagogue. Clergy and political leaders from around Cheyenne and Wyoming have been invited. There will be prayers for the safe release of the hostages and mourning for those who lost their lives. It begins at 5:30 PM at the Synagogue. It will also be on Zoom. The Zoom call begins at 5:00 PM. Zoom info: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87948611171. Meeting ID: 879 4861 1171
As part of the celebration of Rosh Hashanah, let’s munch on some apples and honey, and wish you a sweet year ahead.
Here’s our Yiddish Phrase of the Week:
Men zol zikh kenen oyskoyfn fun toyt, voltn di oremelayt sheyn parnose gehat.
If people could hire others to die for them, the poor could make a nice living.
Shalom,
