HIGH
HOLIDAYS at BJC |
| High Holy Days at BJC
Join us at Bethesda Jewish Congregation for the
Days of Awe, a time of reflection and inspiration. Ta Shema,
come and listen to the unique sounds of the Days of Repentance.
The mysterious music and rhythms of prayer set the stage for
what we can hear in the silence. The wailing of the human heart
as it reaches for the unfathomable. The whirring of the mind as
it strives to recognize the unknowable. The yearning of the soul
as it reaches for what it senses is out there waiting, welcoming
us, if only, if only….

High Holidays
Supplement and Musical Interlude
Writers, Readers & Musicians Wanted
for High Holy Days Supplement and Musical Interlude
We are looking for:
 | Writers - please send your submissions
for the High Holy Day Supplement. |
| Readers - if you would like to read
from the bimah at services please let us know. |
| Musicians - We invite you to share
your music with the congregation at the Yom Kippur
interlude. We are also looking for a coordinator for this
year’s musical program.
| The Musical Meditation program on
Yom Kippur afternoon is a time many people look forward
to as a period for relaxed contemplation against the
background of beautiful music. We are looking for people
both adults and students who play an instrument or sing
to participate in the program. We would particularly
like to involve people who have not participated before.
We do not expect a professional performance, but the
piece you play or sing should be at performance level.
Although not required, music could have a Jewish theme
and/or be of a contemplative nature. If interested or if
you would like to recommend someone, please email Hazzan
Schnitzer
hazzan@bethesdajewish.com or call (301)
