High Holy Days 5786/2025
As we stand on the threshold of the new year, Temple Shalom warmly welcomes you into this sacred season of reflection, renewal, and possibility. This year’s theme, “Through a New Door: Welcoming What Comes Next,” invites us to step forward with humility, courage, and hope – into a year filled with new purpose, deeper belonging, and shared transformation. We are honored to journey through the Yamim Noraim with you as we open the door to our 60th year as a congregation – stronger, more connected, and more committed than ever to building a vibrant Jewish future in Dallas.
If you are not yet a member of Temple Shalom, now is the perfect time to join our dynamic and inclusive community. Membership is your doorway into lifelong friendships, spiritual nourishment, and meaningful opportunities to learn, lead, and give back.
Important Notes:
- A Temple Shalom Dallas parking decal is required to access Temple Shalom’s parking lot. If you need a new one, please contact the Temple office in advance.
- High Holy Day tickets will be mailed separately from the brochure and are scheduled to go out on September 9. Please ensure your membership account is current so we can send your tickets without delay.
We look forward to sharing a beautiful and inspiring High Holy Day season with you. Shanah Tovah!
