Happy New Year!
Join us for the High Holidays at Chabad of the Central Cascades
 

 
Rabbi's Message
 

Dear Friend,

A new year is upon us! This means new life, new energy, new blessings!  

As the high holidays approach, the time when we renew the energy for the coming year, I pray that this year the decrees that are formed through our prayers and our shared heart will bring great blessings to all of those who have suffered pain and loss and indeed bring great blessing to the larger community.

This is the season that is the “engine” that propels and guides the Journey of the coming year.

As we set out on this annual experience we undertake a thorough tune up!  In fact, this will begin with the majestic “tune” of the Shofar. The sound of renewal, the sound that resonates with the deepest part of our soul.

Please, give yourself the time, enjoy this publication, and consider joining us for the High Holidays.  At Chabad everyone is welcome, no matter religious, educational or economic background.  Our motto is: The doors of heaven are open and so are ours!

May G‑d grant you and yours, together with all our brethren, a healthy sweet, and prosperous New Year, and may you be inscribed and sealed in the Book of Life.

May this be the year of redemption from all negative matter! A year of light! A year of joy! May you and yours be inscribed for a healthy and prosperous year!

Sincerely,

Rabbi Berry and Nechama Farkash
Rabbi Schneur and Sheina Matusof

In the late afternoon of Rosh Hashana, the entire community joins together in a proud processional for the observance of tashlich. Representing the themes of renewal and rejuvenation, this tradition also has a way of demonstrating a spirit of communal solidarity as young and old march and sing together while en route to perform a fascinating mitzvah.
