High Holidays

Welcome to another year at Beth Tikvah Synagogue. This year, our egalitarian, warm, spiritual, and meaningful High Holiday services will be held in the sanctuary of the Unitarian Universalist Society of Grafton and Upton (UUSGU), 3 Grafton Cmn, Grafton, MA. They will also be offered via zoom  and Facebook Live Stream.

From Rabbi Mike: An unexpected opportunity presented itself in the spring.  The Unitarian Universalist Society of Grafton and Upton (UUSGU) is where we now hold our services, with the exception of some Friday evenings.  The second day of Rosh Hashanah is a Sunday, and while we looked for alternative locations, as the UUSGU meets on Sundays, we ultimately decided, with the approval of our Religious Committee, to hold the service with their congregation.  Reverend Daniel and I have been working on what this will look like, and it promises to be a new and exciting experience for both of our communities.
 

It is important that you register to join us for services so that you receive any important updates.  In addition, we need to know who will be attending in person for security reasons. When you register, you will be able to select attendance via zoom or in person. That selection is for planning purposes only.  Everyone who registers will receive the zoom link and will be on the attendance list. Please click HERE to register.

At Beth Tikvah Synagogue we no longer charge set dues rates for membership. Our pledge based system, called Terumah, is a "free-will" offering, not a required one. Your Terumah is your membership pledge, an annual voluntary financial commitment that is used for our operating budget. If you are interested in joining the Beth Tikvah family go to www.bethtikvahsynagogue.org/join-us.html for more information.
 

Please call 508-616-9037, or email HighHolidays@BethTikvahSynagogue.org, if you have any questions. Come join our inviting, joyful and spirited community for the High Holidays!

The arrival of the High Holidays always reminds me of my Jewish obligation of charitable giving. I hope that you too will commemorate the High Holiday season by giving to the charities of your choice. I ask that you also include Beth Tikvah Synagogue in your giving so that we may continue to serve the Jewish community.
