Featured.... News Flash from the Ritual Committee! We have a new siddur, with transliterations of all the prayers, along with the Hebrew and English. This beautiful new prayer book, Eit Ratzon, also contains commentary about the various prayers, and, the pages of all the key parts of the Shabbat morning service are numbered with the page numbers from Sim Shalom. Our Ritual Committee has spent much time reviewing siddurim to find one that would enable congregants and guests who don’t have strong Hebrew skills to follow and sing along with the service. If you need some Hebrew assistance (and even if you don’t!), we urge you to try using Eit Ratzon and let us know how it works for you. We hope that this new book will encourage even more participation in our Shabbat morning services. Construction News Keep up with News on Buidling Progress, on our News on the Move page.
