“On Rosh Hashanah, it is written. On Yom Kippur, it is sealed.”
May it be your will, Eternal our God, that the year 5785 brings to us, to the whole House of Israel,
and to all the world, life and peace, joy and exaltation, redemption and comfort. Amen.

High Holy Day Food Drive Appeal
For Jews around the world, the High Holy Days not only mark a time for prayer and spiritual reflection but also for action to improve the world. This year, we are once again encouraging our members and guests to bring bags filled with non-perishable food to the Temple, starting on Tashlich and continuing through Yom Kippur. The food will be delivered to the David Frazier Food Pantry at Jewish Family Services. Grocery bags should contain only non-perishable foods.
​
We also encourage everyone to send in a check during the High Holy Days, made payable to Temple Emanuel but designated on the memo line for hunger relief and/or immigration support. Funds raised for hunger relief will be donated to the IRC and funds raised for immigration support will be directed to Faith Action International.
