Join us on Saturday, September 4th at 9:00 pm as we watch the movie Dim Sum and followed by an inspiring candlelight Selichot Service.

Erev Rosh Hashanah falls on Wednesday, September 8, 2009,and Kol Nidre falls on Friday, September 17, 2010. This year we will again welcome Rosh Hashanah as one Temple Emanuel community! We gather at 8:00 pm on September 8 to say a formal Shanah Tovah to each other and to 5771. Begun in this special way, it's bound to be a wonderful new year indeed! Please print and save the 2010 High Holiday Newsletter, where you will find important information to help make your High Holiday experience more meaningful.

Prayer Books: Gates of Repentance is used for all High Holy Day services. Members are encouraged to purchase the gender-sensitive edition which is used on the bimah, although the pagination is the same as that in the older book, so the service can still be followed from page to page.

Parking: As in years past, our neighbors at Kensington Baptist Church and Warner Memorial have graciously allowed us to use their parking lot for our overflow parking. Please respect the posted signs and do not park on the lawn. Use only designated parking spaces. We have also added additional handicap parking in our lot.
