*** This is the last opportunity to add names to the Scroll.  Please do it now! ***

All those for whom we recite Yizkor, may their memories remain for a blessing…
With the High Holidays around the corner, we bring renewed energy to our lives.
Jewish tradition eternalizes our beloved departed by designating a memorial
Yizkor Service on the holiest day of the year, Yom Kippur. 
We are in the process of preparing our annual Yizkor Scroll of Remembrance.
This digital registry is created every year to remember and honor our loved ones who are with us in spirit.
To register for the regular Scroll, with a price of $18 per name, click here.
To honor on the permanent Plaque, with a price of $198 per name, click here.

TAO is excited to introduce our “Challah Your Name” recognition opportunity.  If there’s someone whom you admire, someone who needs a little special attention, or someone that you want to give a special shout out to for something nice they did or for just being kind and loving and there for you, you can shine the light on them at Shabbat Services and in our newsletter with a minimum $36 donation. With everything that goes on around us during this challenging time, we realize the importance of recognizing those we care about for a variety of reasons. If you want to help shine the light, just click here: CHALLAH and make your donation and contact the office or Renee or Nira to give the details.  Looking forward to Challahing your name in the near future.
