[Jewish] HAMPSHIRE HIGH HOLIDAYS SCHEDULE FOR 5769 (2008)

[Steven Nathan]

This year the High Holidays are arriving a little on the early side.  So 
we need as much help as possible to make things run smoothly.

We still need help in the following areas:  leading prayers, Torah or 
Haftarah, cooking, & setting up for meals, !   E-mail Rabbi Steve ASAP  
@ snathan at hampshire.edu if you want to help plan, participate, cook, 
etc.    For our first High Holy Day services to be a success we need as 
many people as possible to participate.

Please remember, all members of the Hampshire community and guests are 
welcome.  So please feel free to invite non-Jewish friends to join you 
at any time.

/"The more deeply immersed I became in the thinking of the prophets, the 
more powerfully it became clear to me what the lives of the prophets 
sought to convey: that morally speaking there is no limit to the concern 
one must feel for the suffering of human beings. It also became clear to 
me that in regard to cruelties committed in the name of a free society, 
some are guilty, all are responsible."/

/-Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel/
