The announcement of Rosh Chodesh Elul (Tuesday/Wednesday B”H) next week, marks the beginning of the Selichot prayers. It is a period whereby we ask Hashem for forgiveness, repent and spiritually prepare ourselves for the upcoming high-holidays. As such, BYSM daily morning Minyan will be held earlier (refer times below). We hope that you will make every effort to attend the Selichot prayers as your participation will ensure that the Minyan will continue uninterrupted.
We are also in the process of finalizing the seating plans for the high-holidays. Over the next week, we will send out a notification will all the details about seat reservations and donations. Make sure you reserve you seats early as reservations will be honored on a first-come first-served basis.
