Thank you to so many of you who purchased virtual seats last fall. Your seat donations made a significant contribution to our synagogue.
We welcome all guests, family members and newcomers. Please consider purchasing virtual seats this year in order to make it technologically possible to provide dynamic, spiritual, and music-filled High Holy Day experiences.
As we pause at the verge of the New Year, I invite you to help us create a CMT Storahtelling of Our Pandemic Journey. Our CMT Storahtelling will be full of our stories of resilience, sadness, loneliness, discovery, joys, and surprises from this past year. We will combine the stories into a Storahtelling Of Our Pandemic Journey. When we read each other’s experiences, we will find that we are not alone in our feelings and thoughts, and we will learn from each other’s journeys.
Every story matters, whether it is about a small learning or a big accomplishment, or hard moments of grief. Please share it. You can tell it in your own name, or keep it anonymous.
Please share one story that answers one or more of these (you choose which ones to answer):
1. Share a story about something new you discovered about yourself or your life this past year. 2. What is a story that represents this past year for you? 3. What is something you want to change because of this past year? 4. What helped you this past year? Click here for the form to write your story.
