High Holidays at Temple B'nai Sholom
The High Holy Days are a sacred time of renewal, reflection, and return. At Temple B’nai Sholom, we gather as a kehillah kedoshah—a holy community—to mark the beginning of the Jewish year with intention, tradition, and hope.
From the stirring blasts of the shofar on Rosh Hashanah to the final echoes of Ne’ilah on Yom Kippur, we come together to reflect on our lives, repair what is broken, and reconnect with our highest values.
Whether you’re a long-time member or joining us for the first time, you’ll find a place to reflect, belong, and begin the new year with meaning.
Drawn from the timeless wisdom of Hillel, this question serves both as a mirror and a summons. It calls us to deep self-reflection, urging each of us to thoughtfully consider our relationship to Judaism, to one another, and to our community.
It challenges us to pause and ask ourselves why Judaism matters—not only to us personally but also in the broader context of a rapidly changing and uncertain world.
President’s Message and High Holy Day Ask
This season is an opportunity for each of us to reconnect with Temple B’nai Sholom and with one another. A concrete way to do that is by supporting our High Holy Day campaign. Unlike past years when this appeal was primarily used to cover High Holy Days expenses, this year your gift will go directly to balancing our budget so we can keep our minimum annual pledge accessible to all.
Introducing Cantorial Soloist Ellie Flier
An inspiring performer and prayer leader based in Nashville, we are thrilled to be welcoming Ellie Flier to our community this year as our Cantorial Soloist. She holds a degree in Classical Voice Performance from the University of Southern California’s Thornton School of Music and has spent the last seven years songwriting and performing in Nashville. Ellie frequently serves as a cantorial soloist at Congregation Ohabai Sholom (The Temple). Her original music bridges traditional text and contemporary sound, opening Hebrew liturgy to deeper meaning in the lives we lead today. Poetic lyrics and warm, memorable melodies invite community singing and soulful prayer.

Fund Drive for Food Bank of Alabama |
The High Holy Days are a time to reaffirm our commitment to each other, including those in need. Almost 190,000 people experience food insecurity in North Alabama.
Donating to the Food Bank of North Alabama supports their efforts in addressing this food crisis. Every dollar donated provides seven meals to those in need.
We hope that this act of tzedakah will help us in our spiritual quest of self-improvement during this season.
