The Institute welcomes a new slate of officers and anticipates a very full and exciting year starting in October. Join us to celebrate the entire range of services, from the High Holidays to monthly Shabbat get-togethers, to a stimulating educational program.
Erev Rosh Hashanah begins on Sunday, October 2 with services starting at 7:00 p.m. at MountainView’s West and Center Ballrooms. Day one (Monday) and two (Tuesday) services begin at 9:30 a.m. and conclude at 1:00 p.m. at the West and Center Ballrooms. Kol Nidre services, on Tuesday, October 11 begin at 7:00 p.m. and Yom Kippur services on Wednesday begin at 9:30 a.m. – again in the West and Center Ballrooms.
Enjoying Shabbat with friends is so convenient on each of seven Fridays at 7:00 p.m.: October 28, November 11, December 16, January 27, February 24, March 24 and April 28.
Locations are still under discussion with MountainView management, so watch for future announcements.
An optional pre-Shabbat Service dinner will begin at 5:00 p.m. at MountainView Center (specific location to be announced). Dinner selections will be from a limited but varied menu, and we ask you to RSVP with Ellie Adelman at 520-818-3064 or [email protected].
Rabbi Sanford Seltzer, Cantorial Soloist Sarah Bollt and keyboard accompanist Carolyn Cochrane will return to lead us in prayer and observance of holidays and Shabbat. The Shabbat services culminate with a festive Oneg Shabbat reception which members can sponsor to honor special events or mark a milestone in your life or that of your family and friends. Loraine Stillman, Oneg coordinator, can be reached at 520-825-6901 or [email protected].
Orient your personal compass with our religions education program on Thursday evenings (February 1, 8 and 15) from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. at MountainView’s Ballroom West. Rabbi Selzer will select stimulating topics and challenge us to learn more about Judaism and ourselves.
The Institute hopes to make the High Holidays and Shabbat Fridays into a haven for your religious fulfillment and personal serenity.
