*** We’ve had some challenges with personnel in the office this year. Unfortunately, we were not able to get a letter out in time to ask for the names of those who left us this past year. As a result, the new booklets were printed with only the same names as last year. Your loved ones who passed away in 5782 will be included in the booklets thanks to the efforts of Rebbetzin Rachel.
**** The Golden Dreidel in Tustin will take our orders for Lulav & Estrog sets. We need to have our orders in by Monday, October 3, by 3:00pm PT.

Day of Atonement ✡️
Yom Kippur for Hebrew Year 5783 begins at sundown on Tuesday, 4 October 2022 and ends at nightfall on Wednesday, 5 October 2022.
Yom Kippur (Hebrew: יוֹם כִּפּוּר or יום הכיפורים), Also known as Day of Atonement, is the holiest day of the year for the Jews. Its central themes are atonement and repentance. Jews traditionally observe this holy day with a 25-hour period of fasting and intensive prayer, often spending most of the day in synagogue services. Yom Kippur completes the annual period known in Judaism as the High Holy Days (or sometimes “the Days of Awe”).

Parashat Ha’Azinu 5783 / פָּרָשַׁת הַאֲזִינוּ

Parashat Ha’Azinu is the 53rd weekly Torah portion in the annual Jewish cycle of Torah reading.

In Ha’azinu (“Listen”) , Moses recites a poem praising God and criticizing the sins of the Israelites.
