The High Holy Days are a period of personal and collective renewal. We gather to reflect on our lives and the directions we’re headed, both personally and as a people. Enveloped in music, thoughtful spiritual direction, prayer, and the warmth of our broad and diverse community, you will be able to experience your process of renewal, inspiration, and prayer for a sweet New Year!

Yizkor, meaning remembrance, is a communally shared memorial service to remember and honor the people in our lives who have departed this world. It is a custom to contribute to have the names of our remembered loved ones counted in our printed Yizkor Book, helping to make their memory a blessing.

The Galim (Hebrew for "waves") is our Mishkon magazine, in which you can express your good wishes or announce your joyous simchas to the entire Mishkon community. The Galim is distributed to all who attend High Holy Day services and digitally to our mailing list.
All of you are invited to contribute to this year's edition of the Galim by submitting a greeting above and/or participating in this year's featured “Where Are They Now?” stories.
These featured stories will focus on children who spent some part of their childhood at Mishkon and what they’re up to these days. Your child (or you) may have been in our preschool or our religious school or may have come to Mishkon for Shabbat services or the High Holy Days or for other children’s programs.
Our goal is to share the paths of our Mishkon children so that everyone can appreciate the difference Mishkon has made in their lives and marvel at their achievements.
Be as specific or as general as you like. We’d also love to include photos, especially one from then and one from now for each child.
Whether you’re sending contact information for your child or grandchild or writing about your own or their experiences as a child at Mishkon, we want to hear from you.
Send your submissions to Cindy Goldstein at crgoldstein1@verizon.net.
Rabbi Katzan reminds us of the source of our Tikkun Olam duty: "As we read on Yom Kippur, Isaiah teaches us what God really wants from us is that we “feed the hungry and clothe the naked.” By doing so, says Isaiah, we give of ourselves and become beings of God’s blessing, strength and light. This is your opportunity to shine on others and do good. Thank you for donating what you can when you come to services!’"

Westside Food BankMake a difference in local hunger this year by donating food to The Westside Food Bank. WFB provides nutritious food for 72,000 households, which equates to 153,000 people in need, with the help of 60+ member agencies throughout our service area. Their mission is to end hunger in our communities by providing access to free nutritious food through food acquisition and distribution, and by engaging the community and advocating for a strong food assistance network.
