As we approach a New Year, we all are mindful of the sufferingand loss caused by this terrible virus and its broader impact onour society. We approach these High Holy Days, then, with arenewed focus on counting the blessings in our lives and on giving thanks to God, to our nation’s essential workers, and toall who bring joy to our hearts. We approach these Days of Awemindful as well of our mission to pursue justice, to act with kindness, and to walk humbly with our Creator.

This year, to protect the lives of the vulnerable among us and tocombat the virus’s spread, we are called upon to simplify lifeand to focus on that which is most important. The experiences inwhich we will share online and in person as a synagogue familyto mark this season are designed to do just that. We rememberthat the prophet Isaiah experienced God’s presence not in thegrand and the majestic, but rather in God’s “still, small voice.”We invite you to walk this unprecedented path together alongside us, with gratitude, humility, and in friendship, as weseek to hearken once again to God’s still, small voice.

RECIPROCITYReciprocal High Holy Days tickets are issued when CSZ is in touch with another synagogue that honors the good standing of our members,

and issues tickets for their services. CSZ, in turn, honors membership at other shuls,

and issues tickets to their members in good standing.

For reciprocity questions or tickets, please contact Robert Rich at

rrich@shaareyzedek.org or 248.357.5544.

TICKETSThis year, High Holy Days 5781 Tickets will consist of

login and password information e-mailed to each Member in good standing. You will use that login information to access digital services through our

website, www.shaareyzedek.org.We will advise everyone before the

e-mails are released, so you’ll know to check your in-box. In the meantime, please follow

CSZ on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, and subscribe to our e-mails if you do not already do

so, so you don’t miss any updates.

DUESStatements have been mailed, and

tickets to High Holy Days services will be issued to all CSZ members whose accounts are in good standing.
