High Holidays

Go to the homepage for a new triggering thought each day about teshuvah (repentance).

 Click here for the sound of the Shofar.

NEW:  There are excerpts from the new Conservative Machzor (High Holiday prayerbook) available on-line.  They have some interesting commentary and additional readings on the themes of some major prayers.  Look them over and feel free to print them to bring along to services:

• Section on Rosh Hashanah Musaf
• Section on Yom Kippur evening service
  (includes prayers that repeat in all the Yom Kippur services --
  not a short download but worth it)

For friends who may not be familiar with the High Holidays, Channel 13 in Nashua has just produced and broadcast a half-hour show about Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, featuring Temple Beth Abraham.  Here's the link to share.

Hear Teleconference/Webinar with Rabbis Yitz Greenberg and Professor Reuven Kimmelman:  "From Birth to Death:  How Did Humanity's Birth-Day Become Its Day of Judgment?"  This 120-minute session is available for download.  Cost is $27, some slots may be available for $18.  Both are great teachers!

My post last year about images of the "Day of Judgment" and the Unetaneh Tokef prayer ("who shall live and who shall die...")

Pre-Rosh Hashanah Programs at Temple Beth Abraham
Wednesday evening, September 16 at 7:30 PM -- Healing Service

This service of prayers, melodies, and quiet is for anyone seeking healing or comfort in any sense -- for your own illness or an illness of a relative or friend, for grief and loss, for any kind of pain in your life.  The service is being put together by Rabbi Jon, Noreen Leibson, and Laura Hegfield.  Kaddish will be said.
