High Holidays Decorum: Please help us maintain proper decorum during our prayer services. We ask that you do not enter the Sanctuary through the hallway doors during Musaf or the Dvar Torah. Able-bodied individuals will be directed downstairs via the social hall and asked to enter through the 16th Street Atrium. For security reasons, the 16th Street Entrance will be closed. The side entrance on Jonquil Street, ramp door, and downstairs stroller door will be open. We appreciate your cooperation and wish you a Shana Tova!
A Note About Temperature: During the High Holidays, temperatures in the sanctuary will be slightly cooler than usual. Please dress comfortably.
Our community recently lost Rivkah Goli z"l. Rivkah was a beloved friend of our shul, and we will miss her greatly. She was buried in Israel. We would like to study the mishnayot of Rosh Hashanah in Rikvah's memory. All who would like to participate may sign uphere.

Food Drive for the Capital Kosher Pantry
The Capital Kosher Pantry (CKP) helps numerous families in need who are part of our local Jewish community. In preparation for the upcoming holiday season, we are collecting ingredients that are more difficult for the CKP to secure so families can make challah and other baked goods.
The most frequently requested foods are: pareve chocolate bits, oil (vegetable or canola), sugar, flour, honey, applesauce, raisins, and grape juice. All foods donated must be kosher, shelf stable, within the use by date, and in non-breakable packaging. We suggest that flour and sugar in paper wrapping be placed into ziplock bags to protect the packaging. Donations can be left in the box outside Sarah Shapiro's office.
