Make it colorful, all y’all!  We’re celebrating the birth of all creation.  Let’s imitate the rainbow, be the spectrum, come in every color.

Work your way past the blacks and beiges in your closet and choose… pink.  Or green.  Or Carolina blue!  If you have a colorful kippah, wear it.

Come to Rosh Hashanah services ready to rejoice in all that the New Year promises us: May it be a colorful one.

Here’s our schedule, just in case you need a reminder…

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.
