5779 High Holiday Information High Holiday Information Information regarding High Holiday Services, tickets, and other important details is included in this mailing. Take a few moments to review it, and feel free to call the office at 301-652-2606 if you have any questions. Rosh Hashanah begins Sunday evening, September 9. Be sure to return your High Holiday Registration Form as soon as possible. High Holiday Services Congregation Beth El offers four services for congregants and their guests: 1. Main Service in Beth El Bender Sanctuary 2. Main Service at Walt Whitman High School Carrying on traditions that go back many decades at Beth El, there will be two main services on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur (just one on the second day of Rosh Hashanah.) These two services are officiated by Rabbi Greg Harris, Rabbi Fabián Werbin, Hazzan Asa Fradkin, and congregants Steve Kuperberg and Josh Dickstein. They bring together families and friends to customary seats for familiar prayers and family memories, powerful spiritual moments, and provocative sermons. Synagogue leaders are honored for their service to the community. The Conservative movement s wonderful High Holiday prayerbook, Mahzor Lev Shalem, is used. Special musical arrangements of the prayers are added each year. 3. Kol Haneshama Rosh Hashanah (first day), Kol Nidre, and Yom Kippur (through the end of Musaf) The Kol Haneshama High Holiday Service is a lay-led, highly participatory service that blends creativity and tradition. The service is a little shorter and emphasizes congregant-led discussion and song. You will hear divrei Torah by Beth El congregants, as well as sermons from Rabbis Harris and Werbin. Marak Hayom, Beth El s teen a capella group, will also participate. The service begins at 10:00 am with the Torah service. The Rabbinical Assembly High Holiday prayerbook, Mahzor Lev Shalem, is provided at all three services listed above. Tickets are required for all services, and ushers or security guards will request that you show your tickets as you enter the building. 4. Beth El Family Services The two services listed below are designed to include both parents and children in the themes of the holidays, exploring Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur through stories, songs, and prayer. Due to space limitations, at least one child in the household must be in the appropriate grade range in order for Family Service tickets to be issued. 3rd 5th grades (younger and older siblings welcome): 10:30 am to 12:00 Noon on Rosh Hashanah (both days) and Yom Kippur. Rabbi Jessica Minnen is returning once again to lead this service, which will be held at Bethesda United Methodist Church (main floor sanctuary), across Old Georgetown Road from Beth El on the first day of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, and in the Swoff Chapel at Beth El on second day Rosh Hashanah. K 4th grade (younger and older siblings welcome): 10:30 am to 12:00 Noon on first day Rosh Hashanah and on Yom Kippur at Whitman High School. Elisha Frumkin, Beth El s education director, and Rabbi Max Nissen, our assistant education director, will lead this service. Those participating in the Family Services are welcome to sign up for one of the other services as well if you wish to attend before and/or after the Family Service. Other Children s Services and Babysitting Please see pages 8-9 for a complete listing of services, including those for children not in the Family Services grade ranges described above. Babysitting for children 2-6 years of age is available at Beth El only. Teen Discussions All post- b nai mitzvah youth are encouraged to attend one of the main services listed above. In addition, they are invited to discuss themes of the High Holidays with members of Beth El s Upper School faculty at approximately 11:45 am on both days of Rosh Hashanah and on 2 Congregation Beth El
Yom Kippur, as well as Kol Nidre evening, at Beth El, and on the first day of Rosh Hashanah and on Yom Kippur at Whitman High School. NEW THIS YEAR! In addition to the regular Rosh Hashanah evening services at 6:30 pm, this year we are introducing Ma ariv and Meditation on the second evening (Monday, September 10). We will have a second chance to look back, look within, and settle ourselves on the path of spiritual renewal. How to Pay Payment Information Payment for all dues, tuition, etc., should be made by check payable to Beth El, unless you are paying through the member portal (see next paragraph).

We are pleased to be among those who strengthen our congregation by making an Annual Campaign Gift: Annual Gift Amount $ Duration of Gift 3 years 2 years this year Please allocate our gift as follows: $ Adult Learning $ Am Yisrael Chai $ Annual Campaign General Fund (area most needed) $ Beth El Support Foundation (Endowment) $ Caring Community Outreach $ Community Engagement $ Early Childhood $ Family Education $ Gala $ High Holidays & Festivals $ Morning Minyan (breakfast sponsorship) $ Mortgage Reduction $ Ner Tamid* (ongoing synagogue operations) $ Pillars* (offsetting congregant dues and tuition adjustments) $ Program Funds $ Religious School $ Scroll/Website $ Senior Member Services $ Sorkin Teen Israel Trip $ Strategic Reserve Fund $ Tikkun Olam $ Youth Activities *If you supported either Pillars or Ner Tamid in 2017-18, the amount of your gift will be added to your November 2018 statement and will be included in your B Yachad giving.
