Now that summer has arrived, it is time to get ready for High Holy Days. Rabbi Felipe Goodman, D.J. Sinai and Ritual Committee are busy preparing for the services. Jennifer Zukowski is organizing and preparing for youth services and children’s activities. Honors are being assigned, tickets will be printed and ushers are being recruited. Over the years, we (at TBS) have developed our own customs that have truly helped our services to be personal, rewarding and enjoyable. The following are reminders of some of these.
Security, as always, remains an important concern. This year we will be instituting a number of new security measures both visible and covert for the safety of the congregation. Upon entrance to the Temple, Members may be wanded with metal detectors as part of our visible security process. Please plan accordingly. Please ensure that you, your family and your guests have tickets and photo ID when arriving at services because they will be checked. Tickets are non-transferable. There will be no admission to the building without a ticket. To park on property, a current parking sticker must be displayed.
In the past, citations were issued by Metro for parking on side streets too close to residential driveways. Please park in the designated street sections if the parking lot is full. Additional handicapped parking spots will be designated in our lot, as always, it will be first come, first served. Please inform us if you possess a Nevada Handicap Permit.
Entrance to the sanctuary for services is only through the doors leading to the Social Halls. The Main Sanctuary doors will not be open for use for entry. Please cooperate with our ushers and respect their instructions for when you should or should not enter during services. Please sit in your assigned seat enabling our volunteers to easily locate you for your honor. Please do not enter or leave when the congregation is standing for the Amidah, Hineni or during the Rabbi’s sermon.
Appropriate dress is required to be on the Bimah for your honor. Ladies’ arms must be covered; jacket and tie for men. No jeans or shorts.
All cell phones must be OFF or on VIBRATE (if physician). There is no texting in the building on High Holy Days.
If you have an honor during the services, please RSVP in advance to Nancey at extension 104, please arrive at least 30 minutes ahead of time and let one of our honor distributors know you are present. Please sit in your assigned seat enabling our volunteers to easily locate you.
Single strollers will be permitted, provided the parent selects an outside aisle seat in the social halls.
High Holy Day services at Temple Beth Sholom are truly a very special time for all of us. It is a wonderful opportunity for our extended family to see and catch up with each other. More importantly, it is a time for us all to reflect on the past year and look to the future. Thank you in advance for helping us all enjoy this very special time of year. We sincerely hope that 5786 will be a happy and rewarding year for you, your families and friends, and for Temple Beth Sholom.
Elliot Blut, President
