Collection of Offerings

Offertory   “Return Again,” Neshama Carlebach

The message of the song is spiritual and universal, as it invites all
individuals to reflect on their journey and to seek a deeper meaning in
life. The lyrics are also inspired by Jewish prayer and tradition, as
“return” is a central theme in Judaism, particularly during the High Holy
Days. Written by Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach

Return again, return again; Return to the land of your Soul

Return again, return again; Return to the land of your Soul.

CHORUS

Return to who you are, return to what you are;

Return to where you were

Born and reborn again.

Reflection  Rosh Hashanah: A Time for Reflection and Celebration  D.S. Pires

*Please rise in body or spirit.

*Closing Hymn     “Turn, Turn Turn,”   by Pete Seger
