We are pleased to introduce the new
Reconstructionist Mahzor, LEYAMIM NORA'IM, into the 2008 High
Holiday services. The Mahzor is an inclusive, comprehensive volume for Rosh
Hashanah and Yom Kippur. It is rooted in the traditional Hebrew liturgy, yet
full contemporary in its approach. Wonderful commentary and insights accompany
many of the prayers.
We welcome Ruth Ossher as our hazzanit for the 5769 (2008) High Holidays. Ruth
has been an active congregant of Congregation Sons of Israel and Jewish Family
Congregation for many years. She has been studying Shabbat and High Holiday
prayer and cantillation with Cantor Jeff Shiovitz. She has a lovely voice and
has led services, and has chanted Torah and Haftarah on Shabbat and the High
Holidays. She has, also, been a Hebrew school teacher and tutor at JFC for 19
years. Ruth and her family live in South Salem.
