Dear all,
On behalf of the entire Jewish community, we would like to wish all of you and your families a Happy, Healthy and Sweet New Year! Here is an interesting article about 9 things most people do not know about Rosh Hashanah.
Earlier this week, I sent out a schedule for High Holiday services. Sadly, things in Barbados and abroad are changing at the speed of light. This morning I learned that the Blumenfeld family had to cancel their flights here due to circumstances beyond their control. Although we will miss them dearly, their health and safety are our greatest priority. We will therefore be holding ZOOM services with limited in-person participation at Nidhe Israel Synagogue instead of at Rockley. You will find the schedule below.
This week’s Friday night services will be on ZOOM at 6:30pm.
