High Holy Days 5781

​Although this will be a High Holy Days unlike any before, just as we do every other year, we will seek and find God this year. As always, we will gather as a community; even if this year we will not physically be together in our shul building. Instead we will transform each of our homes into the mikdash m’at, “small sanctuary,” that our tradition encourages us to create.

Online Sanctuary Portal 
Shearith proudly welcomes you to our custom-designed, easy-to-navigate web portal, created exclusively for our community. As soon as you log on, you will be instantly transported! Come through our front doors and feel the warm light of the sacred garden streaming through the windows of Beck Family Sanctuary or step into Aaron Family Main Sanctuary and gaze upward at the stunning Ark. You will  register for portal access by sanctuary. This will ensure you are in the correct room for our Zoom Schmmoze, and for our sanctuary-specific slideshow. However, you will be able to walk down the virtual hall and "step into" another sanctuary during our services. 
 
Young Families and Youth
We’ve planned many special services and activities for our youth and young families!

​You can watch services on-demand, when it is most convenient for your family, in our comprehensive video library on the Portal. Choose from services for Young Families (Infants – Kinder), Youth in 1st-3rd grade, and Youth in 4th-7th grade, and watch as many times as you'd like!
​
Additionally, we’ll offer Zoom gatherings for school-age children on Rosh Hashanah Day 1 and 2 and Yom Kippur.
 
​Digital Mahzorim
Digital copies of the Mahzor are available for download.
Go to issuu.com/store/code
Enter code: SN5ZEM4C
You can login with Facebook or Google, or create a new, free account
Once you access the mahzor, it may default to a left-to-right display. To make the mahzor readable in the correct direction, just drag the slider bar at the bottom of the display all the way to the right. Also, check out the Digital Mahzor FAQ at: www.rabbinicalassembly.org/story/frequently-asked-questions-about-digital-edition-mahzor-lev-shalem

If you have questions about Mahzorim, contact Sandi Burt at sandib@shearith.org or call 214-939-7315.
 
Social Action Food Donation
Each year our Social Action High Holy Day Food Drive provides much needed donations for families struggling with food insecurity. This year we are not taking actual food donations. Instead, please consider donating to Jewish Family Services Food Pantry and/or MAZON: A Jewish Response to Hunger.

​Make your donation online via the High Holy Days Registration Form HERE or mail a check indicating in the memo which organization(s) you would like to support. Mail to: Katie Babin, 9401 Douglas Ave, Dallas, TX 75225
100% of donations go to these wonderful organizations!
 
Kever Avot
Join us in-person, but socially-distanced, for a moving annual service where we come together as a community at the graves of our ancestors to remember and be inspired by their example during this season of our faithful introspection.
​Sunday, September 27
10:30 am:
Shearith Israel Memorial Park (Dolphin Road)

​12 pm:
Shearith Israel North Cemetery (Sparkman-Hillcrest)
 
In-Person Prayers Before The Ark
We are excited to offer you and your family the chance to continue our Ne’ilah tradition of offering personal prayers before the ark in both sanctuaries between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

Each member family will have a fifteen-minute window to enter the sanctuary privately. We are committed to giving you access to the most sacred place in our spiritual home in a way that is safe. Masks are required to come into the building.
