High Holy Days 5776
| |
Shir Tikva's critical planning for this year's High Holy Days, which begin with Selichot on September 5, closely followed by Rosh HaShanah on September 13, is well underway.
By now you should have received your congregational mailing for the Holy Days and all requests for extra tickets, registration for our Children's Programming, "Scroll of Remembrance" memorial listings and similar items will be due back to the Temple office no later than Friday, August 21. Please contact the office if you have not received your packet.
We know these dates occur while most of our community is enjoying summer mode, but we ask that you please be on the lookout for this very important communication and respond to it as soon as you receive it, so that we can all be prepared for these important and significant days in our Jewish year.
