First, just a friendly reminder to vote early and vote often for Havurah Music Coordinator Ilene Safyan, who has been honored nationally as one of ten finalists whose song may be included in Forward's Soundtrack of Our Spirit 2016. You won’t want to miss Ilene’s singing and the inspiring music by other finalists. You can vote here every day from now through Sunday.

Second, a reminder that we have Dorot Shabbat tonight, Text & Torah tomorrow morning, and Selichot Service tomorrow night. You can read more here. We hope you can join us for one, two or all three of these services!

The Gaps for Rosh Hashanah

We're making progress as we plan for Rosh Hashanah, but we still need more volunteers. These are the gaps that especially need filling. If you haven’t chosen a volunteer opportunity yet, please click here or on the Sign Up button below to help in one of the following ways:

• We need 17 more people to help unload service books, music, toys and banners at the Tiffany Center Thursday, Sept. 29, 6:30–7:30 pm - and to help set things up. Many thanks to the 8 Havurahniks who already signed up. We will find more people to assist you!
• We need 10 more people on Sunday, Oct. 2, from 10:30 - noon, to complete whatever can't be completed by 7:30 pm Thursday night. You could help with some friends and head out to celebrate over lunch together!
• We need 6 more people to make final touches for Erev Rosh Hashanah Dinner and to greet people as they arrive, from 4:30 to 6:00 pm, Sunday, Oct. 2.

Will you be one of the 33 Havurahniks to help us prepare for Rosh Hashanah? Please click below and let us know. (Some other positions are also still open. However you can help will be greatly appreciated!) You don’t need to create an account with SignUp.com to sign up to help with Rosh Hashanah. All you need is an email address.

It's truly inspiring when our community comes together to create the amazing mitzvah of welcoming everyone to our High Holy Days services.

Shabbat Shalom!
