We want to thank everyone for your presence and contributions, which made the High Holidays so meaningful this year. We are appreciative of our staff, davening team members, choirs, service leaders and speakers, Torah and Haftarah readers, shofar blowers, teachers and madrichim, security volunteers, ushers, gabbaim, equipment shleppers, sound engineers, and everyone who stepped up to help ensure the spirituality and safety of our community over Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur. We had over 100 volunteers these High Holidays, and we could not have done it without you! We are tremendously grateful for the contributions of Rabbi Dollin, Rabbi Yedid, and Michael Harlow for joining us on the bima and elevating our experience over the holidays. We hope you felt true moments of connection, inspiration, and introspection.
We’d love to hear your feedback about your High Holiday experience this year. This feedback helps our staff and clergy appreciate what you loved and what we can improve for next year. Follow this linkto complete our brief high holiday survey.
Together we move from the inner spiritual work of Yom Kippur to the outer spiritual work of building a sukkah and building our future. As Rabbi Shulman shared on Kol Nidre, in the coming months we will be launching a Listening Tour to listen, discuss, and share perspectives, hopes, and dreams for the future of HEA. We hope you’ll join our team for one of the scheduled Meet and Greet conversations, hosted in congregant homes around town. These conversations will in turn help us to prepare a new strategic plan in the coming months for the congregation moving forward. Sign up to join a Listening Tour conversation HERE.
May this be a year of deepening connections. We look forward to spending time with you in the New Year.
