CELEBRATING ROSH HASHANAH AND YOM KIPPUR SAFELY

From The New York Times, September 6, 2020

AN ONLINE OPTION FOR AITZ CHAIM TO CELEBRATE THE HIGH HOLIDAYS 2020 5781

This year, Rosh Hashanah will be Friday evening through Sunday evening, September 18-20, 1-2 Tishrei, 5781. Because of the COVID-19 virus, the Aitz Chaim Board has decided that the safest thing for our community to do is to regretfully not meet in person for the High Holidays.

One of the options we have is to join Beth Shalom congregation in Bozeman online. There is no charge, but a donation would be appreciated. In order to join the service, you must preregister by filling out the form at this link. Congregation Beth Shalom, Bozeman Then you will receive directions to join the service.

We plan to meet on Saturday, September 19, at 1:30 PM, for Tashlich at Giant Springs, 5401 18th Ave. N. This will be safer since it is outdoors.

More information will be posted as it becomes available.
