Minhag* Reminder for this month:

Always Face the Torah The Torah is the most honored member of our congregation, and so when it is out of the Ark we try not to turn our back on the Torah. Please follow the Torah as it is carried through the sanctuary by turning your head and/or body so that you always face it. In this way we show the Torah proper respect.
