• Under "Notes," indicate seating preferences or any special requirements (e.g. wheelchair). If you leave blank, we'll assume you prefer same as last year (if applicable).
  • For the Belonofsky Sanctuary and Social Hall, you may indicate your preference by seat number if you like. Please consult this seating chart.
  • There are no seats left in the Social Hall for Rosh Hashanah. Request for seats in the Social Hall for Rosh Hashanah will get seats in the Belonofsky Sanctuary.
  • The Sephardic Minyan features open seating.
• We will have an Ashkenazic Neitz minyan starting at 6:00 am on Rosh Hashanah mornings. Those who reserve seats at this minyan will also be assigned a seat in one of the other locations for all services other than Rosh Hashanah morning. To reserve a Neitz seat, please select the location where you would like your other seat to be, and indicate "Neitz" in the notes section.

5) Please contribute to our appeals!

In response to a friend's inquiry about my vision for the shul, I replied, "Shomrai is a place where I want you to come early, and linger longer." I would like the shul to be a place where we obtain not only religious and spiritual growth, but also opportunities to forge friendships and build camaraderie. A place where our common Torah experience can be a foundation for fellowship, and a place where casual get-togethers lay the groundwork for community building.

We're on the road already. ...

The Kol Nidrei appeal supports general synagogue operations. The Yom Kippur appeal supports YISE's vibrant youth program. Please contribute generously to both.

6) Would you like to place New Year’s Greetings in the Rosh Hashanah issue of HaShomer?

The Rosh Hashanah issue of HaShomer will print the traditional New Year’s Greetings from our members. Since each greeting requires typing or specific lettering and layout, we ask that you please send your greeting by Wednesday, August 16, to give time for this additional work. Questions? Call Simi at the Shul office, 301-593-4465 x103.

Preferred format is an image file or PDF matching the ordered ad size.
