I love short ribs because they have so much going for them. Cook them in advance. Vary the seasonings. Make on the stovetop or in the oven or use an instapot. Here’s my latest recipe, the sauce thick and infused with honey. Here is the link to the recipe: https://stljewishlight.org/jewish-food/high-holidays-recipe-braised-short-ribs-with-honey-and-thyme/

Weekly Message from the Board President

If it seems like the year is flying by, that’s because it is. It seems like just yesterday when we were adjusting to writing 2026, and now the High Holy Days are upon us and we’ll start using 5787. This will be Rabbi Delcau’s first High Holy Days with us, and he has been hard at work preparing the services.

Rosh Hashanah begins on Friday, September 11 (a week from this Friday) and continues through Saturday, September 12. Friday night services, which will combine Shabbat and Erev Rosh Hashanah, begin at 7 PM. The Zoom broadcast begins at 6:30.
Saturday morning Services and Rosh Hashanah begin at 9 AM. The Zoom broadcast will begin at 8:30 AM.

Our Zoom links change every week for security reasons. We send out an email with the links on Friday mornings. If you would like to be added to our Friday Zoom links email, please send an email to [email protected].

Shabbat Shuvah (the Shabbat that falls between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur) is the weekend of September 18.

Yom Kippur begins Sunday evening, September 20, and Break the Fast will be Monday evening, September 20.

And then Sukkot is immediately following on Friday night September 25 and Saturday, September 26.

A couple of other things are coming up which usually come out around the same time as the High Holy Days but are not part of the holiday. We usually get our Jewish calendars for the new year. They will be free and available at the Synagogue. We’ll let you know when they are ready for pick up.

And the High Holy Days Journal is also coming out. We’re interested to see who will be featured on the cover. It will be someone important to our congregation. There will also be contact information for our members, and a listing of people who are being honored, remembered, or celebrated. It’s a snapshot of our Mt. Sinai family and worth reviewing and keeping. Thank you to Sisterhood for putting it all together.

To get us in the mood for Rosh Hashanah, here’s a music video from the Aish singing group about the holiday. It’s called “What Makes Rosh Hashanah Beautiful.”

Here’s our Yiddish Phrase of the Week:
G*y zukh dem vint in feld.
Go look for the wind in the field.

Shalom,
