Worship

SUBMITTED BY: PERRY SWITZEN, WORSHIP COMMITTEE CHAIR & SHELDON STARMAN, WORSHIP COMMITTEE ASSOCIATE CHAIR

The Worship Committee had a very productive year. The following agenda items were completed by the Committee:

• Purchased new Selichot prayer books for use on the Saturday evening before Rosh HaShanah • Purchased anAmerican flag and an Israeli flag for the Sanctuary • Purchased new Shiva Minyan prayer books to be used at a house of mourning • Applied for and received a grant for the purchase of 166 prayer books. Purchased new Shabbat prayer books for each seat in the sanctuary and chapel. The books are thinner, lighter and easier to hold in one hand. • Recommended to the Board of Directors the need of a cell phone booster device as part of the temple security program, to assist cell phone use in the Sanctuary when needed. The device is now in use. • A program is being developed inviting congregants to attend Shabbat morning services. Congregants will be given Torah honors of their choice and participate in the Rabbi’s Torah discussion as we study the brilliance of the Bible.
