by COLlive Editor · COLliveEvery year, shluchim search for ways to make the Yomim Nora’im meaningful for both the member who comes once a year and the regular who stays for the whole service. JLI’s host of High Holiday offerings provides the perfect resources to meet that need, and shluchim across the globe are utilizing them for the upcoming Yomim Tovim.
This Tishrei, more than 60,000 copies of the High Holiday Handbook reached over 100 communities, and the count keeps climbing. The full-color handbook works as a Tishrei roadmap, guiding members through the season’s holidays, mitzvos, minhagim, and central themes so that nobody gets lost in the rush of back-to-back Yomim Tovim.
Shluchim can customize the handbook for their own crowd, which turns a shared resource into something personal.
This year, 5,000 Yizkor booklets have reached communities across the United States, Australia, and even South Africa. The 60-page, full-color booklet carries the complete Yizkor service in a design that matches the weight of the moment, so congregants can hold something worthy of the memories they honor.
Many communities have taken it a step further by customizing the booklet to their kehillah. The result is a Yizkor service where every attendee follows along from a booklet that speaks directly to them.
The Yom Kippur Mid-Service Machzor
The Yom Kippur Mid-Service Machzor solves a problem that every shul knows well. Congregants who want to follow along often end up juggling a standard machzor and a separate booklet, flipping back and forth and missing what’s happening in front of them.
The Mid-Service Machzor puts everything in one volume. From the moment that the aron kodesh opens for kriyas haTorah through the close of Yizkor, it carries the Hebrew liturgy, translation, and transliteration where needed, plus commentary, background, and meditations that open the service up. It covers the stretch of Yom Kippur when a once-a-year visitor is most likely to feel adrift, and it holds up year after year, so that a community buys it once and uses it for years to come.
