Who plans Shoreshims religious services?
Shoreshim members plan the religious services, often with the help of outside professional resources such as Rabbis, cantors and Judaic scholars. A good example is the recent development of new services for the High Holy Days that was undertaken by two knowledgeable community members with the aid of an advanced rabbinical student who has worked with Shoreshim for several years. This effort took place over the course of a year, and new prayer books were printed and available for High Holy Day services in October 2005. The committees responsible for holiday services are free to use existing services or to develop new services. As Shoreshim is non-affiliated, there are no firm rules limiting the service approach taken by various committees.
