Erev Rosh Hashanah - Don't Miss this Special Service
by Mitch Cohen
As people prepare to attend the first day of Rosh Hashanah on Tuesday, it can be easy to overlook the special Erev Rosh Hashanah service on Monday night. It's a short one hour service that is filled with music. About 10 years ago, Adath had two services on Erev Rosh Hashanah; an early and a late service. Adath voted to combine the services. There were two camps back then. Those who prefered to have dinner before the service voted for the late service. The other camp wanted to be able to host dinner after the service, and they would attend the earlier service. The early service won out. We start at 6 PM and end around 7 PM. I encourage you to attend and experience Erev Rosh Hashanah. Perhaps this will be the first time you get to hear the special "nusach" melody of the evening, or perhaps it has been your tradition to attend this special service every year. Shana Tova!
