...  High Holy Days  ...

For details of other events, including our High Holy Days observance, please visit our home page and our calendar.. Additionally, if you would like to help plan or prepare for our observance, visit the High Holy Days page or email the committee.

As most of you know it takes a great deal of participation and coordination to provide the wonderful high holiday experiences that we have come to know and love and Kol Halev. For those of you who have been asking yourselves "What can I do to help this High Holiday Season?", here's an easy answer... Work with me on the Rosh Hashanah Oneg. It takes very little time and it's sure to be a "sweet experience". I need people to bring delicious food to share - the usual oneg fair - challah, sweets, fruit, veggies, etc. plus apples and honey to bring in the New Year. I could also use some help putting the food out, cutting apples and cleaning up afterwards.

Please send me an e-mail at mchandlerlmsw@sbcglobal.net or call me at 394-0993. Michele Chandler

Remember, it takes a whole congregation to build a memorable high holiday season.

Haftarah Readers/Blessers Needed!
We need a Haftarah blesser (Hebrew) and reader (English) for the second morning of Rosh Hashanah. Please contact Cantor Sherwin: 947-7270.

Please return your membership packets. 
All members should have received a membership packet for 2006 - 07.  (If you have NOT received yours, please contact Cindy at 419-0945 or administrator@kolhalev.org .)  Please return your packet as soon as possible.  Your commitment (financial and volunteer) are greatly appreciated. 

Donation Opportunity.
