Last chance to order to get it for Sukkot!

 

Geoff Marshall and Laurie Radovsky invite everyone to join them  for a pot luck (vegetarian) picnic at Hidden Falls Park (North Entrance, just north of Magoffin Avenue, south of the Ford Plant). Everyone is welcome for a relaxed Rosh Hashanah lunch and another opportunity to do tashlich by the Mississippi River. Meet at the park after services and kiddush on the first day of Rosh Hashanah.

 

  The Beth Jacob's 20's & 30's Community have some fun stuff in store for the high Holy Days! Check out their Facebook Group, and click below for all the details on:

This year at Beth Jacob we are asking kids to make cards, letters, pictures, etc., at home to bring here on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur to give to the police officers who are outside. We will be delivering them in groups during children's programming.

 

Judaism has a tradition of visiting the graves of our loved ones, particularly during Yom Noriam/High Holy Days/The Days of Awe. These visits offer time for prayer and reflection allowing one to honor the memory of loved ones. Our Cemetery will be open from 9 to 3 on Sunday, September 28, and Sunday, October 5. During those hours members from our Beth Jacob Community will be available to assist you in the reciting of the El Moleh Rahamin Prayer for your dear loved ones(the memorial prayer for the blessed departed).

 

Please call Michael Volk to volunteer to assist in reciting the El Moleh Rahamin Prayer or if you have questions. Michael can be reached at 612-251-3977.

Friday, October 10, 5 pm

Please RSVP with what you're bringing.

No charge, but please RSVP here so we can plan accordingly!

 

On Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, our daily and weekly liturgy is expanded to include the themes of the days; This year, our shlichei tzibur gathered to choose some musical motifs that they will use throughout these Days of Awe, beginning with Selichot and continuing through Yom Kippur.

 

Click here to listen or download a selection of recordings (some by our shlichei tzibur, some by others) that you can listen to, to evoke the mood of the holidays or to learn some of the music ahead of time so you can join in singing heartily in the moment.
