Message from Rabbi Yonatan Click here for a Yom Kippur video message from Rabbi Yonatan. Shabbat Shalom and G'mar Chatima Tovah.
High Holiday Message Dear friends,
It was wonderful to see you and to greet you in Shul on Rosh Hashanah as we shared the joy of being together again. The atmosphere was electric with excitement – not only because of the new air purifiers that we have bought to help keep us all safe!
As we approach Kol Nidre and Yom Kippur I remember that in our service the poem ‘U’netaneh Tokef’ reminds us of the fragility of life and relationships. It reminds us that we must focus on life and relationships, and it is the Board’s intention that Kehilat Nitzan's focus on community and participation in Judaism supports us as we reach out to one another.
Friendly reminder to please note the Service times below. There has been an error on your tickets. Please check the section highlighted that has the corrected dates and times. Please dont forget your tickets on Kol Nidre and Yom Kippur, they are required for security purposes.
