Message from Cantor Shermet
Shalom! I am Cantor Wendy Shermet, and have the privilege of sharing our Yanim Noraim, Days of Awe, with you in Fredericksburg this September. [...] The BST High Holiday committee was diligently preparing even before Covid-19 became the threat we know it to be today. We have had regular online communication to formulate services that will speak to us and be meaningful despite the challenges all are facing. We can and will celebrate the beauty of this season, and share with each other as much as safely possible.

For the month of Elul, which precedes Rosh Hashana and begins the evening of Thursday, August 20, I have prepared a list of music which is accessible on YouTube. The music has been chosen from a variety of sources, cantors and composers, to help you aurally prepare for the season.
Prayer Books
High Holy Day Prayer Books – In an effort to better “feel the weight” of the holidays, we’ve chosen not to display prayers on the screen like during Shabbat Services and instead would like to loan out the Temple’s High Holy Day Machsors for those who would like to pray with a physical prayer book. We're planning to distribute holiday prayer books and small gifts for your holiday table on Sunday, Sept 13th from 10 a.m. to noon through a single-day, drive-up event, along with collecting donations for the food bank (as part of our traditional High Holy Days food drive). For those who would prefer, Mishkan Ha’Nefesh is available for purchase at a discount, or as a free flip book online. Click the links below to access the download options for each book!
