Prayer Book Page Numbers
Click here for a list of page numbers for the De Sola Pool Mahzor (blue book) if you are participating on Zoom. The page numbers called out during services will be for the new red Sephardic Rosh Ashana Mahzor (Seattle) being used at OVS. This list will be important for you to follow along at home.
Experiential Service
The *Experiential Service is an exciting opportunity for a new and innovative service with singing and story-telling. Helene Kates will be leading this special hour long service in the Maslia Chapel on Rosh Hashana Day 1 and on Yom Kippur at 10:00am. It should be an incredible and deep experience.
