We reflect on how to amplify our voices—not just at the polls but in our everyday lives.
As we step into this new year together, Temple Judea is buzzing with energy! Our High Holy Days celebrations brought us closer, reminding us of the incredible strength we share as a community. Now, let’s explore a 5785 filled with opportunities for Jewish connection, learning, and spiritual growth.
The busy autumn holiday season is in full swing at Temple Judea, and we’re embracing Z’man Simchateinu, the season of our rejoicing, as we gear up for Sukkot!
As we continue moving through the sacred period of Aseret Yemey Teshuvah—the ten days of repentance leading to Yom Kippur—we invite you to embrace this opportunity to connect deeply with the process of teshuvah.
While Rosh Hashanah is a time of joy and celebration, it also invites us to reflect on the year that has passed
Can you believe Erev Rosh Hashanah is just a week from tomorrow? We'll gather with round challahs and apples dipped in honey—symbols of endless possibilities and sweetness. And don’t forget to eat some pomegranate seeds! According to Jewish tradition, the number you eat predicts your good deeds for the year ahead.
While the High Holy Days traditionally begin with Rosh Hashanah, the month of Elul invites us to prepare ourselves through introspection and reflection. It’s a time to pause and reflect upon the past year, and to examine our words and deeds so that we may seek forgiveness and step into the Jewish New Year with a clean slate and renewed purpose. On the Saturday before Rosh Hashanah, the Temple Judea community will come together for our Selichot observance— a vital "warm-up" to the High Holy Days dedicated to themes of repentance and forgiveness.
