Events Coming Up

High Holy Days

Please join Pardes Levavot as we celebrate the High Holy Days for 5769. We are not selling tickets for our services - they are free and open to the community! Please get the word out. Anyone who has been offended in the past by the idea of "pay to pray" should be sure to attend. We have an amazing group of elders, leaders and teachers who will lead our services. Sure to be a heart opening experience. Invite all your friends. Rosh HaShanah begins Monday evening, September 29 with services from 7pm to 9:30pm.

Setup Help

We will be setting up for the High Holy Days on Sunday, September 28 at 2:00pm.  This involves putting together the meditation chuppot, moving some chairs and tables, etc. Decorations will be put up starting around 4:30pm.  We can use all the help you can provide, even if you can only be there for an hour.

We will be taking down everything, and setting up the sukkah the day after Yom Kippur, Friday October 10, at 9:00 a.m. Again, all the help you can provide is appreciated.

With enough hands none of this takes very long. Thank you all.

Getting Involved

From the Shepherd of the Hills Bulletin

Community Infant Program (CIP) – Bring baby items to help struggling parents and single mothers. There is an ongoing need for disposable diapers for young families with children. You can bring them to the church. Thank you!


David called his mother in Florida. He said to his mother, "Ma, how are you doing?"

She said, "Oy, not too good. I've been very weak."

David then asked, "Why are you so weak?"

She said, "Because I haven't eaten in 38 days."

David then asked, "Ma, how come you haven't eaten in 38 days?"

She said, "Because I didn't want my mouth to be filled with food when you called."
