After a thorough process of examining Mishkan HaNefesh, the new Reform Machzor for the High Holy Days, the Temple Emanuel Ritual Committee recommended we adopt the new Machzor. The Board of Directors unanimously endorsed this recommendation. The Ritual Committee greatly appreciates all of the feedback and help we received from congregants. A new HH prayerbook with full transliteration is a very exciting prospect for next year!
Several ways to raise funds for purchasing the Machzor were considered. Some funds are already available in the Prayerbook/Library Fund, but we need more to purchase sufficient Machzor copies for our growing congregation. We hope that most or all TE households will become involved, to the extent possible for each family.
