L’shana Tova tikateivu, our dearest CNT family,
We are overjoyed to join together to celebrate 5786 with you!
As we enter this new year, our hearts are filled with gratitude for the blessing of this community.
Congregation Ner Tamid is more than a Synagogue.
It is a family bound together by living Torah, kehillah kedosha/ sacred belonging,
and g’milut chasadim/ acts of kindness.
Each of you brings light to our sacred space, and together, we shine even brighter.
May this new year be filled with the joy of Jewish life to inspire and fulfill us.
From our bimah to your homes, we bless you with health, sweetness, and peace.
B’shira v’shalom,
Rabbi-Cantor Jessica Hutchings — Senior Rabbi
Rabbi Cookie Lea Olshein — Resident Rabbinic Scholar

HIGH HOLY DAYS PARKING AND SECURITY INFORMATION
Friends,
As the High Holy Days approach, we want to share some important security and logistical information:
Parking: Parking will once again be available at the Kohl’s lot and behind CVS. Parking at the Temple will be reserved for Congregants with a handicap placard, staff, and those with parking passes. A shuttle will run between the Kohl’s/ CVS lot and the Temple.
Security: This year you will notice an increased security presence. We are partnering with both Henderson Police and private security to ensure everyone’s safety. Security personnel will also be using metal detectors as guests enter the Temple. We are continually reevaluating and strengthening our security procedures as your safety remains our highest priority.
Entry & Tickets: As in past years, all attendees must bring their High Holy Days tickets to enter Services.
Virtual Access: For those who prefer to attend virtually, Services will be livestreamed on both Facebook and YouTube.
From all of us at CNT staff,
We wish you a heartfelt Shana Tovah!

Congregation Ner Tamid Issues High Holy Days Ticket Offer For Residents New To The Area
Congregation Ner Tamid, the largest Reform Jewish Synagogue in Nevada, is inviting Jews new to the area (Las Vegas/ Henderson/ Boulder City) to buy tickets for High Holy Days Services and have those ticket purchases go toward the cost of new Membership.
“If you moved to Las Vegas within the last year, we’d love to meet you during the High Holy Days,” CNT’s Executive Director Edward Simon said. “When you buy your High Holy Days tickets, we’ll apply those funds toward your new Membership with us. Please contact us in advance to schedule your tour of our Henderson campus and to pick up your tickets. We hope you’ll find your spiritual home here with us at CNT.”
“It’s 5786!” CNT’s Rabbi-Cantor Jessica Hutchings said. “For thousands of years, our people have commemorated this season by gathering, rejoicing, and doing meaningful accounting of the soul. We can’t stop that chain of tradition now! But, seriously, the year sometimes passes us by and we don’t have a chance to properly care for our hearts and souls. This is our chance to reconcile our year and start fresh. CNT is not only a special place to belong, but it’s a special place to reflect, renew, and reset for the new year. We have unique and beautiful services for people of all ages and walks of life.”
“If you’re looking for a friendly sacred community, CNT is the place,” Rabbi-Cantor Hutchings said. “At the Holy Days, you will see a snapshot of what CNT has to offer with meaningful prayer song, community engagement, and creative programming.”
