Temple Solel
Journey through the High Holy Days

2020 - 5781

Elul, Selichot, Rosh Hashanah, Ten Days of Repentance, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, & Simchat Torah

Dear Temple Solel Family,

In the pages to follow are Temple Solel’s Journey through the High Holy Days, 2020-5781. As our biblical ancestors conceived in Torah, and
the rabbis elaborated, there is more to the High Holy Days than Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. The full arc of the High Holy Days stretches from
Elul through Simchat Torah. While New Year’s and the Day of Atonement are our primary destination, the steps that lead to the destination and our
focus after we leave, are equally important. Allow that full arc to strengthen the divine spark in your soul and to sustain you on the holy journey
ahead.

Elul: The month of Elul is filled with pearls. We will receive daily offerings reinforced by four weekly themes, summoned by the call of the shofar.
Tuesday’s Meditation will direct our breath around those themes of God, Love, Understanding, and Listening. Wednesday’s Lunch & Learn, taught
by master teacher and Israeli tour educator Uri Feinberg, will invite us to reflect as Americans through the lens of the State of Israel. Each
Friday, our clergy team will offer a Shabbat video message in words and music. And on September 12 Rabbi Stiel will lead a special Selichot
program, followed by a comforting Selichot service inviting us to seek and extend forgiveness.

Tzedakah: As we think of others by offering tzedakah before entering the sanctuary, so do we approach the holidays by giving to the most
vulnerable in our community with our High Holy Days Food Drive. Giving to others enriches ourselves.

Services: We have engaged a professional production company to enhance the congregation’s virtual experience for Rosh Hashanah and Yom
Kippur. To ensure security, everyone must register for access to services. Multiple camera angles and enhanced sound will bring you closer to
the live clergy and musicians. You can follow the written prayers on a split screen. Recordings made through the summer will allow you to hear
and see the choir, aliya honors, and special readings. Other than Yom Kippur afternoon no service will be longer than 75 minutes.

Contemplation and Mingling: Between services you may enjoy thoughtfully created transitions: community holiday greetings, Israel video tour
with Uri Feinberg, Israel photographs and music, and stunning nature footage from world-renowned cinematographer Louis Schwartzenberg,
accompanied by Cantorial Soloist Todd Herzog. On Rosh Hashanah afternoon and at the conclusion of Yom Kippur everyone can enjoy a “virtual
mingle” with clergy, staff, and fellow congregants.

Between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur is Aseret Yemei Teshuvah—the Ten Days of Repentance. Rabbi Steven Bob will lead a special Lunch &
Learn entitled “The Book of Jonah and the Meaning of Yom Kippur.”

Sukkot and Simchat Torah: The holidays of Sukkot and Simchat Torah follow Yom Kippur. Sukkot, with the temporary shelter of a sukkah, has
particular relevance this year. We have all experienced vulnerability and uncertainty and can feel grateful for all that sustains us, physically and
spiritually. Simchat Torah celebrates the lifeline of the Jews—Torah. We finish reading the Book of Deuteronomy, and immediately begin again with
Genesis, grounding ourselves in the sacred, eternal words of Judaism.

We look forward to travelling together on our Journey through the High Holy Days. May the New Year 5781 be filled with sweetness, good
health, and abundant blessings,

Rabbi John A. Linder Rabbi Debbie S. Stiel Cantorial Soloist Todd Herzog
