High Holy Days
Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur Sermons
At High Holy Days services, our Rabbis shared words that touched hearts, stirred reflection, and inspired renewal. Their sermons call us to carry forward meaning and resilience, and to remember that even in times of challenge, hope endures. May these messages continue to guide our spirits and open new pathways of purpose as we journey into the year ahead with courage and possibility
Beth Israel Day of Atonement Memorial Book
A message from Rabbi Jason Nevarez
Dear Friends,
In our Yizkor service, we say “Yizkor Elohim Nishmat” and ask that
God remember the soul of our loved one. When we recite these words,
we are also asking God to help us, those of us reciting Yizkor, to cope
with our pain, process our loss, and move forward with our lives.
On Yom Kippur we take a sacred pause to remember those we have
loved and lost. We do not close the book on their lives. Instead we are
given a mitzvah, a task; to begin writing another chapter in that book
worthy of our loved ones, who were such an inspiration to us. Learn more.
