Here are readings and videos to guide you through the High Holiday cycle. 

Tashlich
Since we will not be gathering for the ritual of casting our sins, please find a time to engage in this simple and powerful ritual on your own. Here is a link to background on tashlich and here is the ritual from our machzor (high holiday prayerbook).
"The Angry Lion"

The Baal Shem Tov, one of the most profound thinkers in the history of Jewish spirituality (1698-1740), whose birthday is celebrated on the 18th of Elul, once shared this allegorical story about the animal world to illustrate the need to speak to God directly with your own words, with your own soul from your truest place.  Thanks to Dale Rosen for sharing. 
Readings for Shofar Blowing for the Month of Elul

HERE are the prayers that will be recited prior to the sounding of the shofar at 8:30 AM Mondays thru Fridays.  (8 pages). Psalm 27 (all or part) will be recited or sung each morning.  HERE are three versions.  (3 pages). You may wish to print them out to use during our morning gatherings.
