Dreaming Up High Holydays 2020~5781
Beit Ahavah's High Holyday Dream: New Machzorim!
Thanks to the amazing generosity of our beloved community, we have raised funds to purchase over 150 sets of new Reform machzor, the Mishkan HaNefesh: Machzor for the Days of Awe, a stunning two-volume set designed with our contemporary world in mind.
Any additional funds raised will go toward even more sets of these machzorim to use this year and for many years to come!
