High Holidays coming to Beth Emunah

Beth Emunah Messianic Synagogue invites the community to experience the High Holidays beginning with Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, in all its richness—"full of the celebration of Messianic Judaism and faith in the risen Messiah of Israel, Yeshua." The synagogue invites people to rediscover the meaning of the High Holy days in their lives.

The sound of the shofar during this time of year evokes "a deep desire for spiritual awakening and renewal, a time for coming together in worship, awe and wonder, with a sense of spirituality and majesty, in celebration of a sweet New Year," according to Messianic Rabbi Murray Silberling.

The observance of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is "an experience of profound personal and communal examination of our lives, followed by the true joy of forgiveness that marks this holy day, empowering us for a fresh new start in the New Year," the Rabbi added. The observance is marked by the "beautiful and haunting" melody of the Kol Nidre.

The synagogue’s services are free of charge and open to all at their facility at 5312 Derry Ave., Ste. N., Agoura Hills, just off the 101 freeway. Rosh Hashanah services will begin at 7:30 p.m. Fri., Sept. 26. For more information, please call (818) 597-9700.
