A ROSH HASHANAH WISH
May this be a good year!
ROSH HASHANAH REMINDERS
A FEW REMINDERS FOR OUR SERVICES
Please bring your tickets with you to our services and have each person show his/her ticket to our greeters/ushers as you walk in. We do this for security purposes. Please don't give your tickets to friends. Permit us to welcome them and invite them to become part of our community and receive their own tickets.
Because we anticipate all our seats will be filled, please arrive in plenty of time. Try as best as you can to not save extra seats, so that we can accommodate as many as possible in our services.
If you need anything during your time in our building, just ask an usher or go to the table situated in our front lobby. We are here to help in any way possible.
We have services and activities for children of all ages. We hope that families will bring their children to our Rosh Hashanah services so they can experience the new year at B'nai Jehudah.
If you need a ride or anything that we can do to help you experience Rosh Hashanah with the community, please let us know. Call the office (913-663-4050), tell us what you need, and we will do all we can to help

MITZVAH AND MEMORY
HIGH HOLIDAY
HARVESTERS FOOD DRIVE
On Rosh Hashanah, you will receive a grocery bag. Please fill it up with non-perishable groceries and bring it back on Yom Kippur. Our annual Harvesters food drive brings in TONS of food to help feed our neighbors. Our goal this year is 8300 pounds, enough to fill an ENTIREHarvesters truck! (For Sukkot we will collect food for the JFS Food Pantry...please be generous then, as well.)
ROSEHILL CEMETERY MEMORIAL SERVICE
It is Jewish tradition to visit the graves of loved ones in between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Our annual Cemetery service at Rose Hill Cemetery, will be 3:00 pm, Sunday, September 24, in our Mausoleum. This service, which remembers all our beloved wherever they may be buried, is a tradition of the congregation.

SHABBAT SHUVAH
Shabbat Shuvah
The Sabbath of Repentance
Friday, September 22 - 6:00 pm
Rabbi
H. Scott White
Rabbi - Congregation Ohev Sholom
His message is titled:
"Least Likely to Become A Rabbi"
Rabbi Scott White grew up at B'nai Jehudah. We are delighted and honored to welcome him back to the bimah for the first time (we think) since he was confirmed in 1974...only 43 years later!
Over the last decade and a half, we have used Shabbat Shuvah to hear the special message of return from notable clergy from Kansas City and beyond. Our guests have included Rev. Adam Hamiliton, Rabbi Mark Levin, Rabbi Michael Zedek, Rev. Colin Carson, and others. This year, as he prepares to retire from the active rabbinate in 2019, we welcome Rabbi White. Join us for his "return engagement!"
CONGREGATIONAL TRAVEL
Our trips to Cuba and Israel are not quite filled. We have 6 spaces for Cuba and 4 spaces for Israel.
On Sunday, October 1, 7:00 pm, good and caring people of Kansas City will gather at Church of the Resurrection to address what the Kansas City community can do to stand up for our neighbors and against the hate and intimidation espoused by white nationalist and white supremacist groups.
What began as a conversation between Rabbi Nemitoff, Rev. Hamilton and other faith leaders has developed into this evening of shared support and commitment. We will learn about these groups, their tactics, and their goals.
