Yom Kippur

Rick Lake did a great job blowing the shofar

Cantor Abramson's smile captures how the whole congregation was feeling after "Tekiah Gedolah" and after the morning service.

Members - Breakfast with Jill

revisiting our vision and goals

Save the date

Sunday October 27 10-noon

This will be the first "Breakfast with Jill".

Let's take this opportunity to revisit as a congregation, Shir Ami's vision and goals. What is our identity? In what direction do we want to go forward? What are our vision statements and priorities? Let's gather together over breakfast to share, discuss and make some decisions together for our future.

NEW MEMBERS, YOUR VOICES ARE WELCOME!

A registration link for this breakfast will be emailed out to Shir Ami members right after Yom Kippur.

It's not too late to become a member of our Shir Ami Community

By the end of our Rosh Hashanah services, a number of guests were inquiring about membership. We invite you to join us now between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur so that next week at Yom Kippur services you may come up to the bima to participate in our service and you may include your loved ones in our Yizkor memorial service.
