Temple Shirat Shalom High Holy Days 2015 Schedule
This is a special time of year. It is a time for celebration and introspection and re-calibration of our internal moral compasses. It is a time for community and also for being alone. We have created a full schedule of High Holy Days worship. We hope you can join us. You are certainly welcome!
TSS IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE RABBI SALLY PRIESAND WILL BE CO-OFFICIATING AT 5776/2015 HIGH HOLY DAY SERVICES!
See profile of Rabbi Priesand by clicking here.
We believe that worship should be available to all who want to participate, and we are not requiring tickets for attendance at our worship services (although donations are always appreciated).
Come join us – you are certainly welcome!
All High Holy Days services to be held at Scottish Rite Center, 1544 W Hamilton St., Allentown, PA 18102 (this is on the South side of Hamilton St.)

They can also accept non-food, personal care items such as shampoo and toothpaste. Also, consider a financial gift to Second Harvest Food Bank. For every $1 you contribute, they are able to distribute 9 pounds of food. This is equivalent to 7 meals for people that may not otherwise be able to afford them!
