Illuminator NewsletterLike everything this year, High Holidays with Or Emet will look a bit different. While services will be online, we are working hard to make them into a meaningful and uplifting opportunity to reflect on our lives and connect with each other. The High Holidays and Ritual Committees have revised each service, shortening them to combat Zoom fatigue and planning for fun new components while retaining the beautiful music, inspiring liturgy, and thought-provoking commentaries that are the hallmarks of Or Emet’s High Holidays. We have a few suggestions to enhance your experience.

ILLUMINATOR Fall 2020 - FINALSadly, Dr. Harold Londer died on July 29, 2020. Since founding Or Emet in 1983, along with the late Dr. Larry Garfin (1934-1993), Harold dedicated himself to guiding the congregation with energy and vision. Ordained as a Madrikh (ritual leader) in 2007, he officiated at lifecycle events and services until transitioning to Madrikh Emeritus in 2018. Harold’s death is an incalculable loss to Or Emet and to Humanistic Judaism.
Dr. Londer’s obituary was in the StarTribune on August 2, 2020. https://www.startribune.com/obituaries/detail/0000363825/?fullname=dr-harold-londer
