Participation and HHD Guest Request FormThe strength of our CSR community has always been drawn from you, our members. Now, amidst the challenges presented by the pandemic, we are especially grateful for your support. We welcome you — new and returning members — as we start this New Year. You matter to us. CSR would not be what it is without your involvement and ongoing commitment. Your individual affiliation statements have been sent to you via email. If you have already responded, thank you. If not, we would appreciate your prompt attention to this, now, more than ever. As always, we will do everything possible to ensure that everyone is able to remain an integral part of the CSR family.
High Holy Day services are open to congregants in good standing and their children, regardless of age. This year we are inviting extended family and all guests (regardless of current or past synagogue affiliation) to join us for worship. If you have a friend or neighbor who is not affiliated with a synagogue, please invite them to join you or let us know. For those not currently affiliated with CSR or another congregation, we are suggesting a donation of $250 for each adult. But all who wish to attend are welcome regardless of their level of donation. Please complete our Guest Request form below so that we can share the links and other information with those who register in advance. Machzorim (Prayer Books), Gift Bags & Food Drive Bags So that you may more fully participate in services, we will provide prayer books for you to borrow. While we are encouraging you to pick them up at CSR if you are able, for those who cannot, we will arrange for them to be delivered. Please sign up on the enclosed form. At the same time, we will include a small gift bag with apples, honey and suggestions for creating a sacred atmosphere for your at-home services. Lastly, you will receive the bag to use for our High Holy Day Food Drive. In addition, a link to a PDF of the portion of the services we will be conducting will be emailed to you.
