United Hebrew Congregation Terre Haute returns to sanctuary for Rosh Hashanah 5778
United Hebrew Congregation members and guests gathered in the glow of an unseasonably warm evening Wednesday, Sept. 20, to celebrate Erev Rosh Hashanah 5778 at Temple Israel.
Student Rabbi Kylynn Perdue-Bronson marked her first High Holy Days officiating “for grownups”, proceeding neatly and efficiently through the service, which marked the congregation’s seasonal return to the upstairs sanctuary.
