This year, once again, Nashuva will live-stream all High Holy Days services. 

In past years, Nashuva’s live Kol Nidre service webcast in partnership with JewishJournal.com has been one of our community’s greatest outreach tools, reaching tens of thousands of people who participated with us from all across the world — people who are disconnected from Judaism and looking to return, people who are home-bound, people in nursing homes, hospital beds, people in hospice, Jews who are looking for a way to reconnect to our traditions and faith.

WE ARE SEEKING SPONSORS WHO CAN FUND A HIGH QUALITY FILM PRODUCTION OF OUR SERVICES THAT WILL GO OUT TO PEOPLE ALL ACROSS THE GLOBE. 

PLEASE EMAIL US AT [email protected] TO LET US KNOW WE CAN COUNT ON YOUR SUPPORT.

WE ARE ALSO SEEKING SPONSORS WHO CAN FUND OUR SERVICES AT TEMESCAL CANYON.  THEY ARE AMONG OUR MOST SPECIAL AND BELOVED SERVICES.

This is a great mitzvah with a huge impact for lifting spirits and for reviving souls. Please email us and support this amazing outreach service. 


CHILD CARE:

We will not be providing Child Care this year.


CASUAL ATTIRE:

If you own a Tallit (prayer shawl), please bring it to morning services and to all Yom Kippur services.  If you do not own a tallit, buy yourself a gift this year and see how wonderful it feels to be sheltered beneath its wings.

Please note that all in-person services will be held outside so please dress accordingly. Dress is casual for all Nashuva services, but we encourage you to come in white in honor of the Holy Days.


SOCIAL ACTION – Volunteer:

We are looking for volunteers to help with the Holy Days!

The best way to make new connections and friends is to roll up your sleeves and get involved. It is also the best way to improve your mood and add meaning to your life. So please email us at [email protected] to let us know you’d like to be of service. Please specify if you are able to be a volunteer for the HOLY DAYS!
