As the High Holy Days approach, we are reminded to cherish the living and to remember those who have passed from life. Congregation Kol Tikvah’s Book of Remembrance has become the medium by which members of our Congregation and relatives of former members honor those loved ones who have passed away. The Book is distributed at the Yizkor Service on Yom Kippur.
Overflow PARKING will be available in the Coastal Community Church parking lot just north of the synagogue. Access to that property is directly off of University Drive. Parking attendants will advise you when the Kol Tikvah lot is full. In that instance, you may drop off your passengers under the portico before proceeding to the Church lot.
For Erev Rosh Hashanah and Kol Nidre and Yom Kippur Services, you may park in the Kol Tikvah Parking lot, at Coastal Community Church, or the Parkland Government Center.
For Rosh Hashanah Services (October 3-4) you may park in the Kol Tikvah parking lot or at Coastal Community Church ONLY. PLEASE DO NOT PARK in the Parkland Government Center.
**Congregation Kol Tikvah Pillar Members will have reserved parking in the Northwest corner of the parking lot (closest to the sanctuary/social hall). Please keep an eye on your emails for a parking pass.
Our Social Action Committee will be spearheading our annual High Holy Day Food Drive to benefit the WeCare Food Pantry at the Soref JCC. Please fill a bag with nonperishable food (NO glass), toiletries, personal hygiene products, baby food, formula, and diapers. Bags can be dropped off in front of the Sanctuary doors starting on Thursday, October 3 or brought with you to services on Yom Kippur (Saturday, October 12).
SUPPORT KOL TIKVAH
To continue to drive our community – our kehillah – it takes all of us. This year, we are asking for every member of our kehillah to help strengthen our financial foundation, and we hope we have 100% participation to do so! The strength of our kehillah is measured by the impact we have in the lives of those who are a part of it. With your generosity and support, Congregation Kol Tikvah can continue to be the leader within the Jewish community in Northwest Broward County.
