THE TORAH TELLS US to welcome the stranger.

So, this year on the High Holidays, like in other years, local
synagogues are opening their doors to non-members.

If you’re looking for a service, the list below can help. It’s not
comprehensive, but it does offer several in-person and virtual
options. Due to the delta variant, several shuls have both.

This High Holiday season, as we seek spiritual and physical renewal for
ourselves and our loved ones, let us also remember those in Israel who nurture
and renew life every day. Whether it’s treating civilians wounded in terror
and rocket attacks or vaccinating them against Covid-19, no organization in
Israel saves more lives than Magen David Adom.

Magen David Adom is not government-funded. Its 27,000 volunteer EMTs and
paramedics and 4,000 full-time professionals rely on support from people like
you for the vehicles, supplies, and equipment they need to perform their
lifesaving work.

No gift will help Israel more this coming year. Support Magen David Adom
by donating today at afmda.org/rosh or call 866.632.2763. Shanah tovah.
