5768 2007/2008 Calendar

Color photographs of art from North American synagogues affiliated with United Synagogue are on display in our 5768/2007-2008 caledar.

Above the 13 months shown in the calendar – which goes from September 2007 to September 2008 – you will find both photographs and essays. This year’s essays, written by Rabbi Robert Binder, each focus on a prayer; Rabbi Binder explains each prayer historically and puts it in the context of the service that surrounds it. The photographs show synagogue architecture and detail, both interior and exterior.

United Synagogue’s international president, Dr. Ray Goldstein, said, “This beautiful calendar showcases 13 of the hundreds of beautiful Conservative synagogues across the continent, and at the same time explains to our members the meanings of some the prayers we say every day, every week, or once a year. It is a feast for both the eye and the heart.”

Once again, the calendar includes candle-lighting times for cities across North America and for Jerusalem and the dates of Jewish holidays; lists the Shabbat Torah readings on both the annual and the triennial cycle, and provides resource information about the Fuchsberg Jerusalem Center, the Masorti movement, and Mercaz.

To order a copy of the 8" x 10" spiral-bound calendar, call 866-5-SHALOM. The suggested minimum contribution is $25. For orders of 25 or more calendars, the suggested minimum contribution is $5 per calendar.
