Beit Hashofar is pleased to announce the opening of our new Lichtenstein Guest House and Beit Midrash. This new facility is conveniently located steps away from the synagogue and offers the comforts of home as well as an informal study space. Our Guest House is an optimal base for seeing the Northwest region or just to stay overnight on Shabbat while residing in a kosher environment.
Please join us for the evening Rosh Hashanah service. All are welcome! This year's Rosh Hashanah will open up the 10 Days of Awe and bring us the spiritual awakening we all need during this season of teshuvah (repentence).
We will have sweet treats after service to celebrate our sweet new year.
