Shin – Bet – Ayin. Those three letters create a multiplicity of meanings: The completeness in the number “seven.” The courage it takes to make a promise. The hope for sustenance and abundance.
The Days of Awe focus our attention on who we are and what we were meant to be: Complete, full, in possession of an abundance we can offer the world, to preserve, repair and restore it.
This year, Temple Or Olam celebrates its tenth anniversary, the dedication of a surprise gift for the whole congregation, and High Holy Days all in one. We will explore Shinn-Bet-Ayin in all its forms and meanings. Come celebrate with us for any or all of our services; we can promise a warm welcome, joyous music, and thoughtful prayer.
