United Hebrew's 2021 High Holy Day Brochure We look forward to celebrating the High Holy Days with you—and are especially anticipating the opportunity to welcome our members (who are comfortable) to join us in the Millstone Sanctuary for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services. We are excited to again worship together as a community. Please be assured that we will also continue to provide outstanding virtual experiences throughout the entire High Holy Day period—from the start of Elul through Simchat Torah—welcoming all to participate. Over these past 16 months we hope you have appreciated the extraordi- nary efforts of our clergy, teachers and staff to rapidly adapt worship services, education, and programs to virtual and hybrid experiences, and how we created innovative ways to celebrate and observe life cycle events while adhering and adapting to ever-changing public health and government guidelines. For 184 years UH has provided meaningful Jewish worship and education for you, your families, and past generations of our historic congregation, during the holidays and throughout each year. Now we ask you to con- sider making a generous gift to our High Holy Day Appeal to help us raise the necessary funds to balance the financial needs of the congregation with what is received annually from membership dues. This will enable United Hebrew to remain strong for you and for generations to come. You may make your gift marked “HHD Appeal” using one of the four methods of payment listed here: • Check – mail to United Hebrew • PayPal – go to paypal.me/uhcstl • Venmo – @uhcstl • Website – www.unitedhebrew.org/giving On behalf of the clergy, staff, and Board of Trustees, we are deeply grateful for your gift, and wish you a good and sweet year. www.unitedhebrew.org/hhd As we look toward a new year, we reflect on the year that has passed. This year we are especially grateful for the opportunity to re-connect, for the opportunity to be together in person, and grateful that we can welcome in a new year. 5781 was an unusual year for all of us. Life as we knew it was disrupted and suddenly changed. For some, this time was lonely and difficult and full of loss, while for others it was refreshing and allowed for introspection and growth. Now, as we emerge from the pandemic, it makes sense that in this new year, we focus on gratitude, reflecting on and recognizing the good that has happened in our lives even amid the loss, pain, and sickness we saw and felt during this past year. At United Hebrew, 5782 will be a year of gratitude! An opportunity for us to look around and recognize the myriad of blessings in our lives. An opportunity for us to take a deep breath and to say, “thank you, God, for bringing us to this moment.” Together we’ll cultivate the middah (the Jewish value) of HaKarat HaTov: Gratitude “Finding the Good” and of recognizing the often overlooked moments of blessing and thanks in our lives. This year, when we gather for the High Holy Days it will truly be a Shehecheyanu moment - a moment of pure gratitude and blessing. בָּרּוְך אַתָּהיְיָּ, אֱֹלהֵ ינּומֶ לְֶך הָּעוֹלָּם, שֶהֶחֱיָּנּו וְקִ יְמָּ נּו וְהִ גִיעָּנּו לַזְמַ ן הַזֶה: Baruch atah Adonai, Eloheinu melech ha’olam, she’he’cheyanu v’ki’y’manu v’higiyanu lazman hazeh. Blessed are You, Adonai our God, for giving us life, sustaining us, and enabling us to reach this season - this new year of 5782. We look forward to seeing you during the Holy Day season. Shanah tovah u’metukah - May the New Year be a sweet one for you and for all those you love. L'shanah Tova, Rabbi Brigitte Rosenberg Phil Frischer, President www.unitedhebrew.org/hhd We are excited to once again have services in-person for the High Holy Days and are looking forward to welcoming you back into our building. All services will be held in the Millstone Sanctuary with the exception of Children’s Services which will be virtual only and Erev Sukkot which will be outside in front of the UH sukkah. We will also livestream on our website, YouTube and Facebook. Once a service is finished, it will be available to watch again from the beginning. Reservations At this time our High Holy Day services are open to members only. We ask that you make a reservation by August 10 so that we have a sense of who will be coming into the building. We know not everyone will be ready to pray in a large group. You may reserve your space by filling out the form on the UH website or by calling 314-469-0700. We will take a waiting list for guests and non-members who attend using a reciprocal form from another URJ congregation. Guests will be informed after August 15 if space is available. Covid Protocols At the time of publication, we still require masks inside of our building to protect the youngest members of our congregation, ages 11 and under, who are not yet eligible for vaccination. We will continue to watch COVID updates over the next couple of months and if our mask requirement changes before the Holy Days, we will let you know. Name Tags In mid-August we will send out name tags that will serve as your ticket and proof of membership. When you arrive for High Holy Day services, please present your nametag (just like a ticket) to an usher. Memorial Book Our Yizkor book contains the names of our dearly departed and it is a source of comfort for the entire year, with special readings, prayers, and the Kaddish. Submissions for this year’s book are due by August 9. The book will be available on the UH website, as well as in print at the Memorial/Yizkor Services. www.unitedhebrew.org/hhd Prayer Books We will use our High Holy Day machzor, Mishkan HaNefesh. The prayer books will be provided at all in person services. We understand that some will still feel more comfortable participating in services from the comfort of your own home. If you are watching from home and wish to use a prayer book, there are three options to choose from: 1. Purchase books from Unique Treasures, the UH Gift Shop, for $44 per set. 2. Purchase an ebook of Mishkan HaNefesh that you can view on your computer, iPad, tablet or phone. 3. Members may check out books (as you would from a library) and return them after the High Holy Days The links to purchase or reserve the prayer books are on the UH website. You may also contact 314-469-0700 and someone will assist you. Parking for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur Enter the sanctuary parking lot only via the Old Woods Mill entrance Exit the sanctuary parking lot via Conway Rd. only If our lot is full, you will be directed where to park. Valet parking for those with a Disabled Placard will once again be available, thanks to the Betty and Eugene Wolff Transportation Fund.

United Hebrew provides transportation for those who are unable to drive, compliments of the Betty and Eugene Wolff Transportation Fund. Contact 314-469-0700 to arrange your ride. HHD Food Drive Start the New Year off right! Let your first mitzvah be to support the Harvey Kornblum Jewish Food Pantry and UH’s Backpack Buddies. Please bring your food donations to the chapel lobby before Yom Kippur services. www.unitedhebrew.org/hhd We are excited to welcome you back into our building for learning opportunities. Most classes are being offered as "multi-access" with both in-person and virtual options. Each program description specifies the ways in which you will be able to participate. Please make a reservation for all programs, including your choice between in-person and virtual, so we may prepare for this hybrid approach. Register online for all programs or by calling 314-469-0700. During the month of Elul it is traditional to begin the process of reflection and repentance in preparation for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. We are offering many opportunities for all ages to reflect and study throughout the month.

  • Rosh Hashanah Seder 5781 / 2020
    ROSH HASHANAH SEDER 5781 / 2020 Rabbi Alex Braver • Rabbi Sarit Horwitz Rabbi Sarah Krinsky • Rabbi Miriam Liebman Rabbi Daniel Novick • Rabbi Alex Salzberg Edited by Rabbi Mark Greenspan and Noam Kornsgold www.rabbinicalassembly.org Shanah Tovah, and welcome to Hit· adshut, a seder for Renewal of ourselves and the world. The 13th תִ ְכ ֶלה ׁשָ נָ ה ְו ְק ְל ֶלֹותיהָ A ot Ketanah carries the refrain ָאחָ ֹות ְק טַ ָ נ ה (century Spanish piyyut (liturgical poem loteha—let the year and her curses end. For so many in the world, individuals and׳tikhleh shanah v’kil communities, this past year has been a year of pain. We saw loved ones die, we saw communities cease to meet in person, and we saw the fabric of our lives drastically shift. All of us—ourselves, our families, our communities, our world—are in need of some hit· adshut, some renewal. Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are holidays that we usually celebrate in their fullness in a synagogue community. We often see the same people, hear the same melodies, and connect to the same texts. Yet this year, many of us find ourselves not going to synagogue and not having the same High Holy Day experience we were expecting. Our hope is to provide an at-home experience to bridge the gap between what we usually do at shul and what we usually do at home. Our goal is to provide a user-friendly, interactive ritual for you to do at home with family and/or friends or over Zoom with a small group of others.

  • Welcome to the Fort Tryon Jewish Center! an Independent, Traditional, Egalitarian Community
    Welcome to the Fort Tryon Jewish Center! An independent, traditional, egalitarian community An anchor of the Uptown Jewish community since 1938, we have thrived by evolving with our neighborhood and our membership. With deep roots nurturing new life, the congregation is a diverse mix of families and individuals of many backgrounds and many types of observance. How to use this companion: This companion has something for everyone and is intended to help all of us stay present and reflective--open to and focused on the spiritual renewal that’s available to us here and now. Keep this companion around: before, during, and in between the holidays. Flip through it when you’re inspired, bored, lost, or searching. Take a look at the sections on praying at home, the interpretive poetry for the season, or Rabbi Guy Austrian’s sermons. Use the transliterations to help you sing. Let the questions on the Torah and Haftarah readings serve as doorways into those sacred texts and opportunities to reflect on our lives. Also included are service outlines--both the complete service as normally done at FTJC, and a guided, streamlined service for the individual or family at home. Use the outlines to stay oriented along the arc of these days. How to use the machzor: Our machzor itself also has meaningful commentaries and stories below the line, as well as profound essays in the front. Let the prayers open up to you and open you up. and don’t worry much about maintaining a particular pace or saying every last word. Make space with silence, so that your own meditations, intentions, and personal prayers can emerge.

  • Rosh Hashanah Seder רָ בּוֹת לְשָׁנִים תִזְקוּ
    Rosh HaShanah Seder The Rosh HaShanah seder is a 2,000 year old Sephardic custom that is still practiced today. Let us join together to add meaning to this 5781 Holy Day by associating our hopes for the New Year with a variety of symbolic foods, called Simanim, over which we offer blessings. We begin with a unique New Year greeting uttered in many Sephardic and Mizrahi communities: תִזְקוּ לְשָׁנִים רָ בּוֹת! Tizku l’shanim rabot! May you merit many years! Mah nishtanah halaila hazeh? Why is this night different from all other nights? True, this phrase has a specific meaning at another seder, but tonight there is an added meaning. In a different year, we would have rightly called this holy night, Yom HaZikaron, a day of remembrance. Tonight, the name remains the same: we remember what it was like before the coronavirus, as we pray that God remembers us for healing and for hope. In a different year, we might have eaten quickly, so that we could be at services for this special evening that ushers in the New Year. Tonight, we linger in our homes, protecting ourselves, our loved ones, and our extended family of families. In a different year, our prayers, coming out of our mouths, would be our primary focus. Tonight, special foods, coming into our mouths, will be our primary focus. תָחֵל שָׁנָה וּבִרְ כוֹתֶהָ ! Tachel shanah u’virchoteha! Let the New Year, with all its blessings, begin! ❖ ❖ ❖ Candles First, we kindle the lights which not only remind us that Rosh HaShanah is here, but also that tonight is Shabbat as well.
