Special Events
Jewish High Holiday Services 2010
Come celebrate Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, and Yom Kippur, Day of Atonement, at UUCA. L’Chaim (UUCA’s Jewish awareness and celebrations group) warmly invites everyone to attend. Both services are participative and meaningful. The Rosh Hashanah service will be held on Wednesday, Sep. 8, at 7:30 pm, in the sanctuary with a special message from Rev. Anthony David. A short reception will follow the service. The Yom Kippur Service will be on Friday, Sep. 17, at 7:30 pm in the sanctuary. Join us for our Kol Nidre service of personal reflection as Rev. Marti Keller delivers a special message. There are no fees for the services, and childcare is provided by reservation on UUCA’s website at least one week prior to each service. For more information about L’Chaim, contact Carole Galanty at 404-872-3373 or carolegalanty@ yahoo.com or Robin Kottman at kottmanr@bellsouth.net.
