High Holidays Reservation Form 5778
Dear Friends,
With the month of Elul upon us, the Jewish new year and the High Holidays are just around the corner. Allow us at Young Israel of West Hartford to be among the first to wish you a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.
It is during this time of year that we all begin to make the necessary preparations both physically and spiritually to be ready for the approaching days of awe and holiness. It is our hope together we will be able to make this year’s Yamim Noraim (High Holidays) deeply meaningful and spiritually uplifting.
Over the course of the last couple of years, we have been blessed with incredible growth within our community and shul. A wonderful consequence of this growth is that we can no longer can all fit in one minyan in our sanctuary. As a result, we will be convening two minyanim for Rosh HaShana day this year: an early hashkamah minyan beginning at 6:15am downstairs to allow for youth groups to follow at 10:15am, and the regular main minyan upstairs (see the Seating Policies page for more information). Both minyanim will be joined by a professional chazan and will be addressed by Rabbi Brander. Seating in both minyanim will be by request and give out on a first come first serve basis. We hope and will work hard to try to accommodate everyone.
On a more technical note, below you will find a form to make all the nesecary arrangements for the Yamim Noraim. All the pertinent details relating to the High Holidays at Young Israel including High Holiday Seating Policies, Seating Reservation Forms, Childcare Information and Shul-Bay flyer as well as options to join our annual Rosh HaShana Card or to inscribe your children’s names on our Young Israel Legacy Kol HaNearim Tallit can be found here. Please review them BEFORE completing the form below. Also, we are opening our Kol Nidre Campaign and here you will find a letter for Yitz Moss detailing our goals for this year’s appeal. We hope you join us in this important fundraiser for our shul.
Please remember, seats cannot be reserved until all past commitments (including dues and other pledges) are paid in full or a payment arrangement is worked out. Maria will be sending out current statements in the coming days. At the same time, no one will be turned away for lack of funds. If needed, please speak confidentially to Rabbi Brander or Zev Davidovics.
Sincerely,
Zev Davidovics
Dr. Zev Davidovics, Coordinator
