siddur_imageNews 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.

Kol Shofar Breaking Ground on New Facility

by Dan Pine, staff writer

At the big celebration Congregation Kol Shofar will throw for itself at the end of May, the main party favors will be shovels. After years of legal wrangling, the Tiburon synagogue is finally breaking ground on its long-planned remodel. “We’re all feeling elated to have reached the point that something real is happening,” said Ron Brown, a leader of the synagogue’s Capital Campaign Committee.
