HIGH HOLIDAY SHOFAR
Mountain Synagogue President Joel Edelson sounding the Shofar during our High Holiday Virtual Services.
It was a moving and memorable experience to listen to Joel, and it was emblematic of the Holidays.
Thanks to Kathy Zoss, Phyllis Cardozza and Greg Watson for leading the services, together with all those other who were kind enough to help.
