High Holy Days 5785 Registration

Art by member Miranda Cohen

Your gift at the High Holy Days allows us to build our beloved community and enables us to continue to offer our imaginative programming free and open to our extended networks. Your financial gift also speaks volumes about the importance of Hinenu to your life and your values. We exist as a community through the support of our members.

We recognize that not all of our community members can contribute financially; we know that they give time, energy, love, music, reading, poems, and countless other, unique, invaluable parts of themselves that make Hinenu, well, Hinenu. Our dedication to financial accessibility ensures that there are no monetary barriers to participation in our community.

בִּמְהֵרָה בְיָמֵינוּ הִיא תְּבִיאֵנו אֶל מֵי הַיְשׁוּעָה 


Bimhera vyameinu hi taveinu el mei hayeshuah


Soon, and in our time, she will bring us to the waters of redemption


- From R' Leila Gal Berner's “Miriam HaNeviah” 

We open our 5785 High Holy Day season with overflowing prayers for redemption. We pray in the words of the Prophet Amos that "justice well up like water, righteousness like an unfailing stream" (Amos 5:24). We pray for healing and liberation to flow in our homes, in our most intimate relationships, in our communities, in this country, in Israel and Palestine, around the world. 


We hope you'll join us with your broken heart, your questions, your joys, and your wishes for the year ahead.


Expect services led by our members and rabbi from Selichot through Simchat Torah, outdoor activities throughout the season, text study and learning opportunities. 


Services will be hybrid--in person at Homewood, and on Zoom. Masking is required at all times indoors during services. Explore our website for more information about accessibility at Hinenu.


Please note that there will be room for 200 people at Homewood. Please register now to avoid any issue!

• VACCINES Full vaccination for all who are able. Please upload your vaccine card the first time you register.


• STAYING HOME IF YOU'RE EXPERIENCING SYMPTOMS Staying home if you are experiencing symptoms as an act of community care. Stay home if you have any systemic or respiratory symptoms, even if you are confident it is "just a cold" or "allergies" and even if you test negative on a rapid antigen test. Additionally, do not gather in person if you have had a close exposure (prolonged indoor or household contact) within the last 5 days. 


Windows will be open with fans blowing. There is not an air purifications system due to the large size of the room, as assessed by Homewood's team. Air purifiers run in classrooms and the dining room.

Volunteering
High Holy Days happen at Hinenu because of your support of time and treasure. Roles include greeting, ushing, as well as setup and cleanup. Volunteering is a great way to get connected to Hinenu, and ensure that we have smooth and welcoming services. Click here to sign up for your slot/s!

Contribution

We offer a suggested donation of $75 per adult and $35 per child, inclusive of participation in all High Holy Day services and programming.



Please contribute as you are able; no one will be turned away for lack of funds. In order to present the best hybrid services possible, the costs of software and hardware, staff, printing, and accessibility support for 5784 are necessary expenses.



We invite those who can afford to do so to contribute generously; your financial donations, whether the base cost or a higher donation, will sustain us and be an investment in expanding our programming and keeping our community’s doors open to all in the years ahead. 



We look forward to seeing you!
