Dear Chaverim, One of the many lessons of the past few years is how special it is to be able to gather. With that in mind, I am looking forward to gathering our community in the Berlin Family Sanctuary and in the BSO building for the upcoming High Holy Day season. Together, we will sing, pray, rejoice, repent, learn, and remember. I am thrilled that so many of our members will be participating in our services, including this year's Ba'al Tefillah (prayer leader), our own Yaakov Bellas. I invite you to explore the information and opportunties for connection in this email and to join me as we enter into 5784 as a kehillah - a community. I wish you and your loved ones a Shana Tovah u'Metukah - a happy and sweet new year! Rabbi Jesse R. Nagelberg
