Rosh Hashanah Morning Services Videostreamed Live

September 29, 2008 · Filed Under High Holiday Services - Videos 

From Congregation Beth Adam (Cincinnati, Ohio)

With Rabbi Robert Barr and Rabbi Laura Baum

Available at 10:30 AM E.S.T. on Tuesday, September 30

Come back on Yom Kippur to see our evening and morning services as well.

We are very excited about videostreaming our High Holiday services. As you may know, this is the first time we are doing this. So, we have no idea how many people will join us for services or what the experience will be like. Given our limited budget, we are also using free technology (ustream) – we do not necessarily endorse the rest of the site, but we do appreciate having the opportunity to use their technology to present our services to you. In the future, if this is successful, we hope to be able to afford high quality videostreaming.

Please let us know if you joined us for services – let us know how you heard about us – let us know how this experience could be improved. As you know, we are building OurJewishCommunity.org together. Your insights, suggestions, and support are deeply appreciated

    Thank you for this service. It was very uplifting.

    Tech note… if the speaker has a cell phone or blackberry on, even if it’s silenced, it will create the radio interference you heard.

    I thoroughly enjoyed your service this morning. I found your sight by Googling ‘Live Rosh Hashanah Services’.

    One suggestion – do not know if it is possible or not. If you have the capability to scan a PDF document, if you could scan your service handout and either place it on this site or the Congregation Beth Adam site, it would make the experience even better as it would be easier to follow and even to participate.

    Again, I did thoroughly enjoy your service and will probably return for your Yom Kippur service also.

    Regards,

    Patrick Swank

    L’Shana Tova

    Thank you for your online services for the High Holidays. I live on Maui, HI and I don’t know of a Synagogue that has a choir as part of the service on the island, so it was a joy to hear! I enjoyed it very much. The only thing I missed were some of the traditional High Holiday Songs. All in all, it was wonderful to be a part of your community on the High Holidays online.

    Mahalo (thank you in Hawaiian) again for sharing your online High Holiday Services with us who could not be present in-person!

    L’Shana Tova,

    L’shana tova!

    Wow! Rabbi Baum you were a shofar blast to our complacent selves on the Eruv and Rabbi Barr, how you brought us, too, to the essence of these High Holy Days, made it so beautifully personal yet communal. Toda raba!

    The services made me truly made me proud to be a Jew and reminded me what an awesome responsibility it really is. Toda raba, thank you!

    My beloved life partner and I did a contemporary taslich by taking bread to Lake Michigan and its choppy waters, thinking about those fears and things which keep us from being our full selves, and adding any other negative things, transferring that to the wadded bread in each of our hands, and then casting into the water. Truly powerful!

    May you each inscribe yourselves in the Book of Life lived to the fullest!

    Shalom, Yossi

    Thank you to all of you for your feedback. I’m so glad you found us!
    Patrick – we do hope to offer hard copies of the service so people can follow along – but unfortunately won’t be able to do that until next year.
    Happy New Year to all of you!
