Tonight, we look forward to joining as friends and family to celebrate the beginning of Rosh Hashanah and the year 5782. The Erev Rosh Hashanah service begins at 7:30 on our High Holidays Website. Instructions for connecting are below.
Find the All Events and Services link and navigate to the service
A Zoom link will be available five minutes ahead of the start time. Here's a quick how-to video for signing in and joining a session.
Tonight's service will be in webinar form to allow for greater attendee capacity. You may briefly find yourself in a waiting room when you join it, and when you enter, you will only be able to see the service leaders, not the other attendees. The same will be true on Erev Yom Kippur, but all other services will be in the more familiar format that allows us to see each other.
We can't wait to gather together online for Rosh Hashanah! L'Shanah Tovah!

Book Group: Caste: The Origins of our Discontents by Isabel Wilkerson Tuesday, Oct 5th 7:00p to 8:30p Nonfiction, 496 pages - This new book points to our entire social structure as an unrecognized caste system. Wilkerson points out that we tend to refer to slavery as a “sad, dark chapter” in America when in fact it lasted for hundreds of years—but in order to maintain a social order and an “economy whose bottom gear was torture”, it was necessary to give blacks the lowest possible status. Whites in turn got top status. In between came the middle castes of Asians, Latinos, indigenous people, and immigrants of African descent. Such a caste system allowed generations of whites to live under the same assumptions of inequality whether their ancestors were slave owners or abolitionists. This isn’t an easy book, but it’s extremely important, especially in light of current times. Discussion led by Laurie Brown & Marjorie Walters. This discussion will take place in Zoom Room Bet.
