High Holy Days

Selichot Reflections Booklet - This is our time to prepare for the Days of Awe, when we stand before God and pray that we will indeed be blessed with life for another year.  As we turn inward, let us pause and look deep into our souls so that we can examine all aspects of our lives.

This booklet is designed to assist with your reflections. Please meditate or draw, write or color, or otherwise prepare for these Days of Awe in the best way that works for you.

It is a long-standing policy at CBI never to turn anyone away because of financial hardship and we remain committed to this value. This is especially true for services and meals during our High Holy Days.

WORSHIP SERVICES
We are delighted to host services at our synagogue, and we are happy to have Marta Johnson, our High Holy Day soloist, celebrating with us throughout the Days of Awe. We encourage you to arrive early to find adequate seating.
 
Traveling? Just because you are away from home doesn't mean you can't observe the High Holy Days. Members of URJ congregations who will be traveling are generally welcomed to worship at fellow URJ congregations. If you are unable to be at CBI for either Rosh Hashanah or Yom Kippur this year, please complete the “Reciprocity Form” (above) and submit it to our office.  The form needs to be sent from our congregation to the one offering hospitality. Therefore, let us know as soon as you can, and we'll help you get connected with a synagogue wherever you may be.

We are once again offering our youth a relevant, educational and engaging High Holy Days experience. 

We offer age appropriate services and activities for all youth from Kindergarten through 5th Grade during our morning services on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Please make sure to register your children so we know how many to plan for.

We rely on volunteers to facilitate our youth programs and services. Adults, high school students, and middle school students can volunteer. If you're able to help for a 45-minute time slot during services, please sign up during registration.

 
CHILDCARE

HELP NEEDED

High Holy Days observance at CBI does not happen without a great deal of volunteer support. To make our services, meals and youth programs successful we need volunteers. When registering for HHD Events, please complete the volunteer section.
