In past years, Habonim practice was to invite our children to the ark for Hayom, the popular acrostic we sing near the close of the Musaf Service. This year, we encourage everyone to prepare a sign for your Zoom window with a one word blessing (decorated if you'd like).
Please use your name to facilitate entry from the Zoom waiting room into the service.
During the Congregation Habonim Yom Kippur service, you'll see a button at the bottom of your screen that says Closed Caption. Click on the carrot next to the button that says CC and then press show subtitle and page numbers for the Mahzor (we hope!) will show up on your screen. Don't worry, we'll be announcing page numbers as well for those who want to stay aligned with the prayer leader. You should also take agency over your prayer. If a word or melody calls to you, stick with it, explore and reflect.
We invite everyone to bring a Havdalah candle to their Zoom screen for the end Yom Kippur. Shofar blowing is at 7:23 pm on Monday.
If you experience a problem connecting to online Yom Kippur services through Zoom, please contact: Angelo Gragera at habonimtech@gmail.com or (562) 354-0645
