Planning, writing, editing, printing, folding, stuffing and stamping. The office has been buzzing the past two weeks preparing for the High Holidays. There are many details to figure out as we plan for celebrating these important holy days in our new building as the concerns about the COVID-19 virus rise.

We are having services in-person. Masks are required and we will ask anyone not properly wearing a mask to do so.

We also are asking that you RSVP. This helps us to plan for the numbers of people attending and for parking. You will not be turned away if you do not RSVP, but it is a big help us to know you are coming.

For parking, we are reserving our lot for those who require accessible parking due to health restrictions. The lot is reserved for that purpose, but we do not have individual reserved spaces. It is first come – first serve.

We also have arranged with Pierre Laclede Center for parking on the surface lot across Maryland Avenue and in the garage with the entrance on Forsyth.

We are handling name tags differently this year. Included in the information you received in the mail are blank name tags to use for several services. Please fill them out at home. Include your name, note if you are on the board or a committee, decorate it, tell us something about yourself. We look forward to seeing your creativity!

All the information about the High Holiday’s was mailed to our members and is on the website. This time, unlike the Passover packet that arrived for many two months after the holiday, the mail was delivered after two days. I encourage everyone to check the website often as we continue to add information or, if needed, make changes due to the virus.

I am writing this on Sunday afternoon. Earlier today we sent a text message to all our members with a link to the High Holiday page on the website. We are using text messages as another way to reach our members about upcoming events. Please let me know if this is helpful as we continue to look for ways to keep everyone informed about the activities at the synagogue.

The ECC construction is proceeding quickly. Liz Collins, our ECC director, has been coming in several times a week to work out of the administration office in preparation for opening in September. It has been wonderful getting to spend time with Liz as we work out details on shared areas of the building, security and parking. We look forward to having all the kids and activity in the building.
