High Holidays
We’re coming home for the holidays!
The community at Temple Beth Israel in Danielson spent last year's High Holidays in exile as our beloved temple was undergoing repairs. Our dear friends at the Federated Church of Christ in Brooklyn, CT generously let us use their chapel for our high holiday services. After formally rededicating our freshly restored historic temple last October, we are now getting ready to come home for the holidays. As in years past, we will hold our innovative High Holiday services at Temple Beth Israel. Our services feature a blend of traditional prayers, Torah reading and contemporary readings, poetry, and song.
The phrase “Hayom harat olam,” today the world is born anew, reminds us that Rosh Hashanah is a time of renewal, but at Temple Beth Israel where so many of the founders were survivors of the Holocaust, we remember those who came before us and we honor them in our observances. They lived lives of faith, struggle, and perseverance, and their stories are woven into the very fabric of our existence. As we engage in teshuvah (returning or repenting), tefillah (prayer), and tzedakah (justice or righteousness), we are not only reflecting on our own actions but also acknowledging the rich legacy we have inherited.
All are welcome to join us for the following services and registration is required.
