L'Shanah Tovah!  



Can you believe it? It's almost time for the High Holy Days. Please check out the TBI High Holy Day Schedule and contact the Temple office if you have any questions.

Just before Rosh HaShanah, there's a customary service observed called S'lichot, meaning forgiveness, that refers to the penitential prayers recited by Jews prior to the onset of the High Holiday season. It is a solemn and fitting preparation for ten days of reflection and self-examination.

L'Shanah Tovah Tikatevu - May you and your family be inscribed for a good year in the Book of Life.
