While we edit and prepare the videos of our High Holy Day services enjoy reading Rabbi Shire's excellent sermons from the holiday services. Reading and really digesting a sermon can provide new insights and a deeper understanding even if you've heard the sermon given. The text for the dedication of our new Ark is also available.
This is Rabbi Shire's first High Holy Day services with us and we think you will agree that he knocked it out of the park! Enjoy.
Wherever you are on your spiritual journey,
the focus of Central Reform Temple of Boston is to provide everyone with a home
for growth and new horizons.
We are a house of prayer for all people.
