High Holidays Personal Prayers

TBZ has a tradition of writing and sharing personal prayers with the community during the High Holidays. During each service, a member of the community shares a personal prayer that they have written. The rabbis reach out to individual congregants over the summer to ask them to write and share a prayer. Below, please find personal prayers from previous years.
