We will reflect upon the year and say prayer for the upcoming year. We will ask for repentance for the things we have done wrong.We will say a special prayer for those who are no longer with us. We encourage everyone that owns a shofar to bring it and all those who want to blow the shofar to blow it at the end of services.

Jewish Deaf people and their family and friends. We are not affiliated with
any specific branch of Judaism and accept all Jewish Deaf people regardless of which branch of Judaism, whether it is Orthodox, Conservative, or Reform. Hearing and non-Jewish spouses and family are most certainly welcome and encourage to participate. Services will be signed and a voice interpreter will be provided.

YIZKOR APPEAL:
The High Holidays are coming up. As the most holy Jewish day, it is also a
time when we think of our departed beloved ones.
On the Day of Atonement during Yom Kippur when we fast to ask G-d for
forgiveness, there is also a prayer for people who have passed away. This
prayer 'Yizkor' is not only a memorial to the dead, but also a rededication of our loyalty to the spiritual heritage of our forebears. "May G-d remember our
departed." This is an appropriate time to make a contribution to JDCC in memory of your beloved ones.
You can also mail check or money order payable to 'JDCC', 507 Bethany Road Burbank, CA 91504.
We also accept VISA & MasterCard
