Our New High Holy Day prayer books have arrived and they are gorgeous! Call the office at 323-606-0996 or email Kelsi at kcopeland@kol-ami.org to order yours today! The Mishkan HaNeFesh is $42. |
Reform congregations from throughout Los Angeles County will join together to observe Tisha B'Av, the 9th day of the month of Av. Tisha B'Av commemorates of the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem and is a day that has been tied to many terrible moments of destruction for the Jewish people throughout our history.
Today, we seek to understand our broken communities, the rifts between neighbors, and the destruction that we face daily, through this same lens. We do this not just to commemorate destruction, but to commit ourselves to acting in partnership with one another to repair and rebuild that which has been destroyed.
Join us for an evening of havdallah, study, prayer, chanting from the Lamentations, and a chance to connect with one another to imagine together a more just and compassionate California and a world redeemed. There will be a Text Study with the esteemed Dean of Hebrew Union College's LA Campus, Dr. Joshua Holo and a
Service led by many Reform CA clergy and lay leaders.
All are welcome - bring your friends and family!
Please RSVP to Rabbi Joel Simonds at rabbisimonds@unisyn.org
