Message from JILLI

2022/5783 Yamim Norayim, The Days of Awe

Post By Rabbi Lia Bass September 8, 2022

Dear Friends,

We are a few weeks away from Rosh Hashanah, the beginning of the year 5783 in the Jewish tradition. We will share a physical space with each other in Arlington, and will provide the location for services when you register. We will also have a Zoom link for all who would like to attend services online. Please bring your own tallit, kippah, and mahzor, if you have one. We will be using the Mahzor Lev Shalem.  

Register for the services by sending an email with your name and others attending with you, and your mailing address to info@JILLI.org.

There is no charge to attend our services, however, a donation to JILLI to the best of your ability is greatly appreciated. Online donations can be made using echeck, credit or debit cards. You may also donate using Zelle to rabbi.lia.bass@jilli.org, or by mailing a check. Please consider a donation in multiples of 18, the numerical equivalent of the Hebrew word for life, such as $54, $90, $180, $ 360, $ 1,800.

If you would like to lead a part of the service, or read something, please do not hesitate to let us know. We love when people participate!
