High
Holiday Highlights
- THANKS to Larry Solomon for arranging for more comfortable seats for the
last rows in the Social Hall area for Kol Nidre and Yom Kippur.
- On
Kol Nidre, no assigned seats but ticket is required, we ask that
you fill in all seats and not save seats. Ushers will remind you of
this, we request that you cooperate.
- We
are arranging for more Board members to be at the afternoon (B)
service on Yom Kippur.
- Assistive
Listening Devices (ALDs) are now available at B'nai Shalom of Olney
for use during services. We have a variety of ear inserts, earphones,
and
neck loops for you to try. Look for signs outside the sanctuary or
ask an usher for assistance. We hope you
will take advantage of this technology, and ask for your feedback on
how it
works.
- First
time announcement -- As promised, there will be a Congregational
Town Hall meeting to receive comments on this year's High Holiday services
and suggestions for next year. The meeting will be immediately following
minyan, Thursday, October 21, 2004.
You can also e-mail comments to highholidays@bnaishalomofolney.org.
We will be sending out a survey electronically and in the November
Newsletter to solicit your input on this subject.
Help BAG HUNGER... with BSO USY
At the entrance to the synagogue,
you will find large paper grocery bags. BSO USY asks that you take
these bags home, fill them with the
non-perishable food items that you would otherwise eat on Yom Kippur,
and bring them back between Kol Nidre and Sukkot. All items collected
will be donated to Capital Area Food Bank, a nonprofit organization helping
people for over 21 years.
Please help make BSO USY's
Bag Hunger campaign a success! If you have any questions, please
contact Jacob Komisar, BSO Youth Director, at 301-774-0879,
or at BSOYouth@bnaishalomofolney.org
