Thank you for your interest in spending the High Holy Days with us here at Congregation Micah.

 

The Book of Remembrance

Submissions Closed

As we approach the High Holy Days, we are reminded of the profound significance of memory in our Jewish tradition. The Yizkor service, in particular, offers us a sacred space to reflect on the lives of those we have lost and to honor their enduring presence in our hearts.

Congregation Micah will once again be compiling our annual Book of Remembrance, a cherished tradition where we memorialize our loved ones and ensure that their memories continue to be a source of blessing. This year, our Book of Remembrance will be separate from our Machzor. As a result, please note that each book must be ordered separately if you want both.

 

Micah will have a box truck on campus to collect your donations to the Bellevue Food Bank on Yom Kippur only (Saturday, October 12, 2024).  This truck will be manned by volunteer members of your Social Justice/Action committee. 

Here are the particulars:

1.     A food list of suggested items for donations can be downloaded here.

2.     Paper bags will not be provided this year by Micah. Please bring your donation in bags, no loose items please. 

3.     Pull up to the truck to meet our volunteers and drop off your donations at the following times on Yom Kippur:

a.     From 9 AM to 11 AM

b.     From 1 PM to 4 PM

4.     Any items left outside of these hours should be stacked next to the truck.

5.     We end the donation collection at 4 PM.

FAQ

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
A suit and tie. Or jeans and a t-shirt. Or something in between. Our services are not about your clothes, they’re about your spirit. We’re happy to have you no matter what you’re wearing – as long as you’re wearing something, please.

WHAT SHOULD I BRING?

  • On Yom Kippur Day, please consider bringing a donation of canned goods for the local food pantry that serves our neighbors experiencing food insecurity.

  • You may want to bring a light shawl or sweater
