Rosh Hashanah Services - Day 1

16 Sep - ALL DAY EVENT

L’shana Tovah! Please join us as we welcome the New Year 5784 as a community, gathering to hear the sound of the shofar and offering prayers for renewal, forgiveness, good health, and peace.

Join us in person or via livestream on Zoom or YouTube. Guests are warmly welcome. (Contact us at office@templecav.org or 260-744-4245 to receive the Zoom link.) 

Our Rosh Hashanah services for the first day on Saturday, September 16:

Conservative services, led by Cantor Yael Fischman

  • 8:30 a.m. – Shacharit
  • 10 a.m. Torah service with D’var Torah
  • 11 a.m. Musaf

Reform Service, led by Rabbi Meir Bargeron with musical accompaniment by Maestro Robert Nance.

 All-Congregation Tashlich

The Hebrew word tashlich literally means “You shall cast away.”  In the book of Micah (7:18-20) we find the verse: “And you shall cast (tashlich) into the depths of the sea all their sins.”  Traditionally, Jewish communities throughout the world have taken Micah’s words to heart by gathering on Rosh Hashanah and symbolically casting away their sins by throwing breadcrumbs into a lake, stream or ocean.

Join us for Tashlich on Saturday, September 16, following Rosh Hashanah morning services (about noon). Meet in the lobby for directions to on Winchester Road (street address 3900 Old Mill Road). Bread will be provided. No livestreaming will be available.
