FROM THE DESK OF RABBI ROSENBERG

Dear Friends,

Please join us this Friday night, for Erev Shabbat services at 7:30pm on Facebook Live.

Torah Study this Saturday morning at 10:00am on Zoom.

Please join us this Friday night, for Erev Shabbat services at 7:30pm on Facebook Live.

Torah Study this Saturday morning at 10:00am on Zoom.

Kol Nidre services will begin at 7:00pm on Wednesday, September 15th and Yom Kippur services will start on Thursday, September 16th at 9:00am for the preliminary service and 10:00am for the Torah service.

We are very excited about coming back together for in-person services for those who are fully vaccinated this High Holiday season. Please remember that all Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services, including Kol Nidre, will also be broadcast on our Facebook page, Temple Isaiah Palm Springs.

As I have mentioned often, from a Jewish perspective, being fully vaccinated and wearing a mask to protect yourself and others during this COVID-19 pandemic is not an option. Jewish law would consider it a Mitzvah or moral obligation. This class of commandments is known as shmirat ha-nefesh; literally, protecting life. It is derived from a biblical verse which teaches, “Be cautious with yourself and seriously guard your life” (Deuteronomy 4:9).

I wish to thank Temple President Mitchel Karp for always going “above and beyond, as well as his tremendous leadership; our outstanding board, for being willing to serve as good stewards of our congregation and legacy; executive director Doug Morton and office manager Shawna Owens for their boundless energy and tremendous dedication in keeping Temple Isaiah beautifully functioning on a daily basis. Our Sisterhood, volunteers and so many others who are there for us at a moment’s notice. Miriam Bent, is there with her wisdom, knowledge and love of Judaism. Thanks to Caryl Olins who is heading up our team of ushers. Additionally, a special thank you to Chris Segura, our facilities person, who has been such great addition to our Temple staff.

I wish to also thank our tremendously talented and inspirational cantorial and musical team this year: Hazzan Star Wahnon, Dr. Rosalind Wong, Dr. Sarah Sela and David Bent.

May we all be inscribed and sealed for a new year, filled with strength, health, wisdom and love.

G’mar Hatimah Tovah,

Rabbi Steven Rosenberg
