Yom Kippur Resources
Many of our Yom Kippur programs this year had important take-aways – too much to fit into Shaare Mail! Below you’ll find resources, links, printables, etc. related to each sermon or program.
Erev Yom Kippur Kol Nidre Service
Become a Chesed/Caring Angel
Rabbi Goldstein spoke on Kol Nidre about how one act of kindness is so powerful for both the receiver and the giver of the act. It is through these acts that we create a Kehillah Kedoshah (a holy community). Many, many congregants already signed up – we thank you!

Yom Kippur Morning Service
Supporting Democracy in Israel
On Yom Kippur morning, Rabbi Bennett spoke about the importance of Reform Jews’s support of organizations that further the fight for Democracy in Israel. We encourage you to consider making contributions to the following organizations:
The IMPJ,Ā Israel Movement for Progressive Judaism, and the IRAC, Israel Religious Action Center, have joined together for a special emergency campaign addressing the current fight for Democracy in Israel. A contribution to this joint fund will continue support for Reform and progressive congregations, maintain pluralistic education in Israel, expand the legal work of IRAC, and continue to work to support refugees, women, and LGBTQ rights.Ā Click here to donate
You can also contribute directly to the IMPJ, which isĀ guided by the values of Reform Judaism and works to make progressive and pluralistic Judaism accessible to all Israelis, or contribute directly to The IRAC, which is dedicated to the ongoing pursuit of a just Israeli society.
For those of you who like to support NGOs, we recommend The New Israel Fund (NIF) which helps Israel live up to its founder’s vision of a society that ensures complete equality to all its inhabitants. NIF advances liberal democracy, including freedom of speech, and minority rights, and fights the inequality, injustice, and extremism that diminish Israel. Click here to donate
