"Dear Friends, with the High Holidays just a little over a month away, we are putting the final touches on the planning of this year's services and events at Sons of Jacob Synagogue. This year, we are doing things a little differently. At a time when Jewish communities across Canada and globally are feeling the realities of rising antisemitism, community strength and solidarity with Klal Yisrael-the whole of the Jewish people-matters more than ever. To this end, we have removed the High Holiday service fee for non-members this year in favour of maintaining a barrier-free open-door policy-just as we do for all other services throughout the year. Whether you are seeking spiritual connection, learning, community, or simply looking for a heimishe place to shmooze over some shmear-we'd love for you to join us.
אֵין הַתּוֹרָה נִקְנֵית אֶלָּא בַּחֲבוּרָה" "The Torah cannot be acquired, except in fellowship."
What we do ask is this, that you consider giving; whether of your time in supporting the synagogue, services, social events and learning, in extending a welcome to visitors and newcomers, connecting them to our community, in making a donation, choosing to become a member, or renewing your membership-your contribution-whatever it is-is vital not only to sustaining the shul, but supporting and fostering Jewish Community.
Wishing everyone a L'Shanah Tovah and Gmar Chatimah Tovah"
The Sons of Jacob Synagogue
