הֲשִׁיבֵ֨נוּ יְהֹוָ֤ה ׀ אֵלֶ֙יךָ֙ וְֽנָשׁ֔וּבָה חַדֵּ֥שׁ יָמֵ֖ינוּ כְּקֶֽדֶם׃
“Return to us, Adonai, and we will return. Renew our days as of old.”
The High Holy Days are a time of both return and renewal. Where we have gone astray, we return to the right path. Where we have fallen short, we turn over a new leaf. Each year, these holy days offer us a gift: to come together as a community and engage in this process of teshuvah (return/repentance) and transformation. We hope you will celebrate with the Temple Beth Torah community as we welcome in the new year.
Temple Beth Torah will be holding multi-access services throughout the High Holy Days, some of which will be ASL interpreted. Please see the schedule of services below.

The holiest days of the year are soon approaching. At this time, you may want to remember family and friends who have died by honoring their beloved memories at our Yom Kippur Yizkor (Memorial) Service. At the Yizkor Service on Yom Kippur afternoon, Rabbi Sarah will read the names of those family and friends who have passed away during the last year, since Rosh Hashanah 2023.
You can also honor your loved ones’ memories by including them in our Virtual Memorial Book. If you’d like them to be included in the book, please:
-
Email or mail names of family and/or friends who have died since last Rosh Hashanah to engage@bethtorah-fremont.org.
-
Send the names of other loved ones you wish to be included in the Memorial Book. If you contributed to the book last year and wish to do so again this year with no changes, you can note ‘No Changes to Last Year’s List’ when you let us know.
-
Email any digital photos that you would like to include with your memorial. If you have multiple loved ones listed, please indicate the name of the person in each photo.
All names and photos should be emailed to admin@bethtorah-fremont.org or received in the office by Friday, Sept. 19, 2025. Submissions may need to be edited or resized to be included. Click here to view prior year's book.
