L’DOR VADOR (MULTI-GENERATIONAL) SERVICE

Our L’Dor Vador Service offers a spiritual opportunity for all members of BJBE’s families and is appropriate for school-age children, parents, and grandparents. This service includes contemporary and traditional readings, music, vocal ensemble, Torah reading, and a sermon. The service is designed to bring a contemporary worship experience to the High Holy Days and provide the opportunity for families to celebrate together and pass  on Jewish traditions L’Dor Vador — from generation to generation.

TRADITIONAL SERVICE

Our Traditional Service features our High Holy Days Choir and is geared toward adult worship. This service unites all the elements of the BJBE High Holy Days experience: meaningful prayer, Torah, choral music, and a moving and thought-provoking sermon. We gather to celebrate the New Year together in our spiritual home as we reaffirm our  traditions and begin anew our sacred journey.

FAMILIES WITH YOUNG CHILDREN SERVICE

The Families with Young Children Service provides a festive atmosphere for preschool through kindergarten-aged children, their parents, other family members, and friends to celebrate the High Holy Days. The services are held at 3:00 pm on Rosh Hashanah Day and Yom Kippur Day.

TASHLICH SERVICE

Our Tashlich Service is held in the late afternoon on Rosh Hashanah, at Keller park on Hackberry Bridge in Deerfield, for an intergenerational, musical experience during which we will cast crumbs into the water to symbolize ridding ourselves of our sins.

KOL ROSH HASHANAH SERVICE

Kol Rosh Hashanah builds on the spiritual uplift and connection of our weekly Kol Shabbat service. Come prepared to participate with an openness to experiencing this holiday with familiarity and newness at once in an intimate acoustic setting. This service weaves together contemporary music, original compositions, High Holy Day nusach, Torah, and shofar.

HOUR OF LEARNING AND CONNECTION

Following a brief meditation in the Chapel, please join with our community for an afternoon of learning with BJBE clergy as we reflect on the depth and power of the High Holy Days season. This is the perfect experience for those wishing to remain at the synagogue throughout Yom Kippur or for   those seeking added opportunities for meaning during the most sacred time in the Jewish calendar.

CONTEMPLATION & REFLECTION, YIZKOR & NEILAH (CONCLUDING) SERVICES

Yom Kippur afternoon begins with the reading of Torah and the retelling of the story of Jonah. Immediately following is a service of Contemplation & Reflection, which seeks to elevate moments of stillness and introspection with music, prayer, and inspirational readings. This year we will be joined on the bimah by our Rabbi Emerita, Rabbi Karyn Kedar. This service transitions into Yizkor and our Neilah Service.
