Last year, the Conservative Movement published a new High Holy Day prayer book, Mahzor Lev Shalem “A Complete Heart.” AJ will be using this new prayer book beginning with the High Holy Days this fall, thanks to the friends and family of Betty Hanover Carney, who generously donated the books in her loving memory.
We are grateful to Betty’s family who established an endowment for the Mahzor, The Betty Hanover Carney Mahzor Fund. The new mahzor offers many opportunities for an inspirational engagement with the liturgy through traditional and contemporary readings, interesting commentary and a beautiful translation.
This year, we are making available the opportunity to dedicate a new Mahzor in honor of or in memory of a loved one. A dedication plate will be placed in the inside cover of the book with your dedication, and will be used at our High Holy Day services for years to come.
The cost of dedicating a mahzor until Sept. 15, 2011 is $40 per book. This is a wonderful opportunity to dedicate books in honor of and in memory of loved ones, provided that the form and payment are received by the synagogue office no later than September 15, 2011. Beginning on September 16th, the price of a dedication will increase to $50 per book.
Please fill out this form and return to the AJ Office with your check by September 15, 2011 or order online.
