During the Hebrew month of Elul, we sound the shofar every day. These blasts are a “wake-up” call to the deepest parts of ourselves, intended to inspire and remind us to engage in the soul-searching needed to prepare for the High Holy Days. The sound is also significant as it serves to bring our community together during this sacred season.

Beginning on August 23rd, Erev Rosh Chodesh Elul, and continuing until September 20th, two evenings before Erev Rosh Hashanah, we will gather at 6:00pm on Zoom every evening (except for Friday evenings, when the shofar will be heard during Shabbat services, and on September 13th, when the shofar will be heard at the Selichot service) for a brief shared moment for reflection and to hear the shofar. We will start at 6:00, and the shofar will be sounded at about 6:05. On Saturday evenings, we will begin with Havdalah, and so we'll end a few minutes later. You may drop in early to schmooze if you wish - no prior registration is required. Click here to join every evening at 6:00 pm!
