Psalm 27 and Listening to the Shofar

Deepening our Connection on the Approach to the High Holy Days – During the Hebrew month of Elul (Sept 4 to Oct 2, 2016), it is traditional to listen to the shofar once a day and to read Psalm 27 once or twice a day. Treat yourself to Austin Royer blowing the shofar at https://goo.gl/photos/NofbhzjrBaPc3iQf7. Download Psalm 27 in two versions — traditional English translation and an alternative translation for those who are uncomfortable with “God language.” Click here to Psalm 27.

Kever Dorot

There is also a custom of visiting the graves of loved ones during the high holy day season. See the attached flyer for services on October 9th led by rabbis and cantors from Las Vegas congregations. Rabbi Mintz plans to serve as an officiant at the Palm Northwest Mortuary and Cemetery. Here’s more information on this special custom called Kever Dorot – click here.
