Dear friend,

This year is different than most years. Sadly I don't need to elaborate why or how. It's time to turn a new leaf, a fresh start.

Scroll down for a quick digest of info and events to help you observe the High Holidays. As always, please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or if you need help with anything.

Wishing you a K'siva v'chasima tova, l'shana tova u'metukah - May you and yours be inscribed and sealed for a good and sweet year! 

Rabbi Mendy & Mussy
