High Holiday Services – Yom Kippur Services
48 Kennedy Drive
Cresskill, NJ 07626

Dear Friends and Families,
I hope that you are enjoying your summer. The High Holidays are approaching and this year I’d like to reach out to individuals and families who have joined us in the past and I’d really like all of us to reach out to any individuals or families who you may know might be searching for a meaningful and warm experience. The theme for me this year is to reach any person who is searching.
In light of that, we our focusing on welcoming all types of Jews;
Young Jews
Old Jews
Single Jews
Married Jews
Wandering Jews
Wondering Jews
Mixed-Up Jews
Cool Jews
Crazy Jews
Spiritual Jews
Passionate Jews
Divorced Jews
Widowed Jews
Mixed-Marriage Jews
Non-Jews
Cultural Jews
Creative Jews
High-Holiday Jews
Haven’t-Been-In-Shul-Since-My-Bar-Mitzvah-Jews
Come if you are searching for a place to feel welcome.
Come if you are searching for a place where you can understand why you’re there.
Come if you are searching to understand what you are doing.
Come if you are searching.
Just come.
The dates and times are as follows:
Monday, September 14th – 1st Day Rosh Hashanah 10:00 am – 1:00 pm
Tuesday, September 22nd – Candle lighting & Kol Nidrei Service – Yom Kippur Eve 6:00 – 7:30
Wednesday, September 23rd – Yom Kippur 10:00 am – 1:00 pm and N’eilah service at 6:30 – 7:50 pm
Cindy and Gregg Wolfer have graciously offered to host the services again at their home, which is at 48 Kennedy Road, in Cresskill, NJ.
As was designed last year, services will be geared for individuals and families and will be educational, explanatory & meaningful at the same time. Both adults and children will have the opportunity to participate, help lead, or ask questions during the service at a level they are comfortable with. This is a very different experience than coming to a service where you watch as part of the “audience”, try and figure out what’s happening, and count the pages to see how long until it is over. It should also be noted that this is not a “kiddie service geared towards tots or very young children. My hope is that younger children will be able to participate with their families but there will also be some activities for them as well during the service.
Each service will contain an educational piece, a prayer service including Torah reading, a shofar service (on Rosh Hashanah) and a group discussion in small groups of individuals and families.
In addition to our morning services, we will be having a Kol Nidrei service, and a N’eilah service at the conclusion of Yom Kippur followed by a breakfast meal to give individuals and families an opportunity to socialize and connect with one another.
The pricing is $250 for an individual or $450 per family, which includes all extended family for all or any of the four services. Please feel free to bring any extended family, your parents, grandparents, even that Aunt or Uncle that you always feel a responsibility to include at your family events.
My goal is for it to be a spiritual experience for everyone regardless of background, education and level of observance where each of us can explore our Jewish identity as individuals and as a small community.

Warmly,
