High Holidays at KSH!
Exciting news! We have secured our High Holiday Location!
It is with tremendous gratitude to HaKadosh Baruch Hu that we share with you the exciting news that our management has graciously accepted our request to return to our larger unit for the High Holiday season this year!
High Holiday Tefillot are open to Kehillah members and regulars only(exceptions may be requested via email for immediate family on case-by-case basis, as well as for worldwide Shiviti members, space-permitting).
Message From The Rabbi: Expansion and New Location
Shalom!
After numerous conversations with the Ownership and leasing agency, we are moving full steam ahead with the expansion, b’ezrat Hashem. However, we won’t be able to access the new suite until after the Chagim. There’s no need to worry though, as this was our expected timeline!
We are going to continue with our plan B, which is just as exciting!
We have secured the large space downstairs (Unit 100) with management for holiday meals and an organized childcare center with a teacher. All Tefillot will continue to be held upstairs.
Here’s how you can help:
1. Please Donate – I will attach a link below to a form with opportunities to help us cover the costs incurred from using the temporary space. Thank you for participating!
2. Please Volunteer – We need as many volunteers as possible during the holiday season. First up, we need help this Sunday to move into the larger unit in time for Rosh HaShana. Please reply to this message privately to join “The Rabbi’s Logistics Team” WhatsApp group.
3. Please RSVP – If you haven’t yet registered for the holidays, please reply to this message privately, and I’ll send you the link.
Thank you, and wishing us all a Shana Tova! Rabbi Yonatan Halevy
High Holiday Registration Deadline - Deadline 9/29
Members and regulars who wish to attend any of the High Holiday programming, must register in advance via our online form.
Registration deadline is 9/29 at 1:00pm. To request the link for our online registration form, simply replyto this email or send an email to info@kshsd.org
High holidays this year will present us with unprecedented logistical challenges, but the reward of being able to be together will make all of it worthwhile.
Only if you 1) have ample free time and 2) are physically able and wish to volunteer for the Rabbi's logistical team, please email rabbi@shiviti.org.
Want to help but can't commit to the above?
We will inevitably incur unplanned expenses in preparing for the High Holidays and could always use your help.
With thanks to Rabbi Eddie Rosenberg at Young Israel of San Diego, Kehillat Shaar HaShamayim is able to offer you quality sets of the four species this holiday season!
This is a great opportunity for all men, women and children of our community to take part of this special Mitzvah and obtain their own set of the four species this holiday season! At the very least, each household should bring one set into their home this year!
All proceeds cover the cost of the sets - Kehillat Shaar HaShamayim offers this purely as a service to our community. Please note that this year, prices were slightly raised from previous years.
Anyone who needs financial assistance in obtaining a set can reach out Rabbi Yonatan confidentially.
All orders must be received by Tuesday, October 1st at 10:00am. We will be unable to make any orders with the merchant after that date!
