High Holiday Survival Guide
ROSH HASHANAH (The New Year)
Evening services begin at 7pm and end around 8:30pm.
RH morning services begin at 10am and end likely around 12:30pm, with a full Torah service and brief Musaf. Afterwards, we walk to the Lake, about 2 blocks, for a brief tashlich service where we symbolically cast our sins into the water.
Tashlich
YOM KIPPUR (The Day of Atonement)
Yom Kippur services begin with the Kol Nidre service on Friday night at 7pm. Prior to that, there is an opportunity to light a Yizkor candle for a donation to the NTHC Sisterhood. In the morning, services begin at 10am and will likely end around 1pm.
Yizkor, where we remember those who we still love, but are no longer with us physically, will be a short service at 5pm on Yom Kippur. Please sign the Yizkor list on Rosh Hashana (or on the YK evening service, or call one of our Board Members), if you have someone who you are remembering and would like for us to say their name. A donation helps with the break-the-fast and also provides a candle with the name of your loved one.
Concluding services (Neilah) starts 5:30pm, then there will be the traditional shofar blast and break-the-fast. We have a dairy potluck though bagels are provided. Consider bringing tunafish, a salad or kugel. If you bring food from the store, please keep it in its original container (so we know the ingredients for people who may have allergies). If you're making it yourself kol hakavod (all honor - - what a great thing). No chicken nor meat. Fish (yes please), vegetarian, dairy, eggs and wine are ok.
What do we do on Yom Kippur: It is said that this is the holiest day of the year, when all people are judged for life, health and parnassah (wealth) for the coming year. We fast, pray and give tzedaka (charity). So, please do not bring in drinks or food to YK morning services. The prayer service is long during the day and if you have sacred Jewish literature that you would like to study, you might choose to bring such a book to read in addition to participating in the morning service. If you need to take a break, do so. Learn more HERE
WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT DONATIONS? Giving is an important Jewish value. If you are coming for High Holyday services, a suggested donation would be $180. Adjust up if you can afford it (or you would like to become a member) and adjust down if you can't. Any donation, no matter how small, is appreciated. No one is ever turned away due to lack of funds. There's always some way to "give back" to our community. We appreciate your donations and appreciate your participation in "the journey of life with us" even more.
Dress: Regarding the expected dress, many people wear white for all of the High Holydays (both RH and YK) symbolizing purity, some avoid leather shoes and wear kippot (hats in the basket at the door), even if you are not Jewish, as a sign of respect. White is also a color unifying our chevre and also symbolizes chesed (lovingkindness). Some people choose to wear tallit (prayer shawls) during the day, at Erev Yom Kippur (Kol Nidre Service) and we request that you do so when coming up to the Torah.
Who Is Temple Beth Or?
We are a truly warm, welcoming egalitarian Jewish congregation devoted to Jewish learning and Jewish values. Our services are filled with music and ruach (passion). For these High Holiday services, we are partnering with North Tahoe Hebrew Congregation and Jewish Community of Elko County.
How can you support us? There are many ways to be and "do" Jewish. In order to work towards goals of "doing Jewish," we need your support. If you are not ministering to your community, teaching classes on Judaism, providing comfort to the sick or bereaved, representing Judaism in interfaith groups, and much more, then please consider sending money to those doing the work.
It is traditional during the High Holidays to renew your membership and give tzedaka (charity) to your synagogue. Often this is done in increments of $18 - for the numerical value of the Hebrew word Chai (life) = 18.
Membership: You can join as a family for $550/year or, as an individual for $360 .
If you maintain full membership in another synagogue and are already paying dues there, consider our associate membership. To pay with PayPal, see the link on our website: HERE
Non-Members: If you are not a member of TBOR and are attending services, please donate generously to Temple Beth Or during these High Holidays. You may write a check to Temple Beth Or and place in the box on the table in the foyer at North Tahoe, or send it later, or use Paypal.
Come and Learn! Make a Jewish New Year's resolution to come learn with us. Let us know if you would like to be included on our monthly email or go to our Home Page were you can sign up. We invite you to join us! Spend the year learning more about how to "do" Jewish.
