Rosh Hashanah/Yom Kippur 5782/2021

Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur at Bendigamos! We are expecting very special, accessible and inspiring services.

Because of Covid-19, our services will be held with social distancing in the backyard of our regular location. For everyone who cannot visit our services, we will organize a shofar blowing at our Rosh Hashana picnic and also some Zoom-meetings around the holidays.

There will be a lot of singing (in softened voices), we will facilitate a special playing room for the children. Furthermore, we offer a tasty kiddush after the Rosh Hashana services and some food and drinks after Yom Kippur to break the fast. Participation is completely free of charge, but donations are very welcome, especially this year, so we can cover the costs for the prayer books, security, food and rent. Our total costs are about €3500 this month.

Registration

Thank you for letting us know you will be attending the service(s) in advance. This enables us to make sure we have enough chairs and books during the service(s), and plenty of food after Yom Kippur. We would like to ask you a few questions to make sure we have enough information to provide this, if you have questions regarding this form or anything else please send an email to info@bendigamos.org.

Prayer books: Bendigamos has created special prayer books so the service is more accessible for everyone. We made two versions: Hebrew with Dutch translation and phonetic (with Dutch translation in the Yom Kippur version). A prayer book costs around €25 for Kipur and €15 for Rosh Hashana and you can order one for yourself! This means that they will be ready for you at the service(s) and you can take them home afterwards. If you want this, could you let us know how much prayer books you want and which one?

Support us: Bendigamos invests a lot of time and resources in these services. A voluntary donation is very much appreciated. If you want to make a donation we think €25-50 would cover the prayer books, renting the synagogue, security, food for the children and the meal afterwards but please don’t feel obligated to make a donation or to donate this amount. If you want to donate something, what would the amount be?

Memorial prayer: During the services you can make a memorial prayer for close family members that have passed away. You can put their Jewish names and the year in which they passed away right here. If you have any questions about this please let us know at info@bendigamos.org.

Stay updated: Bendigamos organises bi-weekly services and a number of other fun activities each month. Would you like to get regular updates of our activities? Please let us know by leaving your email address.

Finally: Are there any other comments or requests you have regarding the services? Also let us know if you would like to receive more information on how you can support our beatiful community. Also write your e-mail address here if you want us to send you the location of the services.
