L’ Shana Tovah!
We are excited to share Temple Beth Hillel’s plans for celebrating the 5784 High Holy Days services. Rabbi Dean Kertesz, Cantor Marney Margules and the Ritual Committee and so many others have worked diligently to create meaningful services–both in-person and streaming options will be available.
Although there is no cost to attend TBH’s High Holiday services, donations would be greatly appreciated.

Rosh Hashanah Morning 2023/5748 – What Makes Us Human?
