Holiday meals are a cherished tradition at CEEW, and we hope you will join in these annual celebrations. A deli luncheon will be held immediately following Rosh Hashanah morning service in the temple social hall. Please RSVP to Laurie Schwartz at (303) 888-5137 or at Lss303@aol.com. While there is no charge for this meal, advance reservations are necessary and donations are encouraged. The Tashlich ritual will follow lunch at Frame Park in Waukesha.
Directions to Frame Park for Tashlich Service
Starting from the Synagogue, left turn (East) on W MORELAND BLVD, passing the Waukesha County Courthouse. Continue down the hill, cross the river AND the railroad tracks and turn right on WHITE ROCK AVENUE. In about .3 mile, turn right onto BAXTER STREET and continue straight into FRAME PARK parking lot.
Names for Yom Kippur memorial service will be displayed on the video screen in the sanctuary, or they can be viewed or printed from our website. Names need to be given to Mark Levy (communications@waukeshatemple.org) no later than September 24 so that there is time to publish them. Our policy is to automatically include names on the plaques in the synagogue, but all others must be submitted each year. It is customary to donate to the synagogue in memory of your loved ones.
The Yom Kippur Break-the-Fast will be held immediately following the Ne’ilah service. This pot luck meal is always well-attended, so please sign up to bring a dish to share if you are attending this meal. You may either sign-up online or on the sign-up poster that will be available on Rosh Hashanah. Questions? Members and guests please contact Laurie Schwartz at (303) 888-5137 or at lss303@aol.com.
