Yizkor Book Form

During the Yizkor Yom Kippur Memorial Service, we will remember deceased relatives and congregants by entering their names in a special Memorial Booklet. Check the Wednesday What’s Happening email for the link to download last year’s booklet, to see whose names you submitted, so you know whether you need to make any updates this year. You can download the finished 6782/2021 Yizkor book here.

High Holy Days Contribution and Sponsorship Form

Traditionally our congregants have generously supported our High Holy Day Services, helping to defray special expenses or making general donations. The High Holy Days allow us to gain a greater focus into our lives through joy and contemplation, leading to a more secure spiritual state of mind. This time is an opportunity for those who desire and can, to express appreciation for our synagogue community through philanthropy.

College Student Information

The Temple strives to maintain close contact with our college students through letters and phone calls from Rabbi Axler, visits to local campuses, our College Shabbat Service, and mailings from the Temple office. Please make sure that we have updated contact information for your college students.

Lulav & Etrog Order Form

If you’d like to have your own lulav and etrog for celebrating Sukkot, you can order them here. Prices range from $31 for the Children’s set, and $65 for the Superior set.

Be a part of the High Holy Days services! As we begin our preparations for High Holy Day services this year, we are asking our volunteers to utilize our online sign up feature. Each volunteer will need to complete a separate request form with their preferences, even if there are two or more from the same family.

High Holy Day Ushers

High Holy Day Ushers are vital to a stress-free worship experience for members. As we begin our preparations for High Holy Day services this year, we are asking our volunteers to utilize our online sign up feature. Each volunteer will need to complete a separate request form with their preferences, even if there are two or more from the same family.

If you are attending services remotely instead of at the Temple, you may either borrow or purchase your own copies of Mishkan HaNefesh, the Machzor for the Days of Awe. If you would like to purchase them, copies are $38 per set and can be ordered online.
