Erev Rosh Hashanah Services and Reception
15 Sep @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
L’shana Tovah! Please join us when we welcome the New Year 5784 as a community, gathering on Erev Rosh Hashanah with both Reform and Conservative minyanim worshiping together as one congregation.
Rabbi Meir Bargeron will lead the service on Friday, September 15 at 7:30 p.m., weaving together aspects of both liturgical traditions to inspire new insights during this time of reflection, forgiveness, and renewal. He’ll be joined by Cantor Yael Fischman, who returns as our guest clergy for a second year to lead Conservative worship on the first and second days of Rosh Hashanah and the Day of Atonement.
Maestro Robert Nance will join us throughout the holidays for evening and Reform services. Hazemir at some services throughout the holidays.
Our annual New Year’s Reception will follow Erev Rosh Hashanah services, providing an opportunity for our Temple family and guests to share good wishes and enjoy a delicious nosh. Thank you to Dawn Hammond and Amy Krouse for chairing.
Plan to join us in person or via livestream on Zoom or YouTube. (Contact us at office@templecav.org or 260-744-4245 to receive the Zoom link.)
