As the High Holidays approach we are preparing some of the special honors given at the services. This is an opportunity to support Chabad Waterways and receive a blessing or pay it forward and give a blessing to another person. To avoid auctioning on the holidays, silent bids are now being taken for the High Holidays Honors. These honors are well known for their blessings they bring to those that acquire them. One does not have to be present to receive the honor. Your participation enables your community to grow and thrive!

Opening bid: $540 Buy it now: $720 "Aaron's two sons…" (Nadav and Avihu). The passing of Aaron's righteous sons is relevant to the spirit of Yom Kippur, for: "Just as Yom Kippur brings atonement, so, too, does the death of the righteous…" (Vayikra Rabba, 20:12). This honor, the Zohar teaches, takes the place of the sacrifices on Yom Kippur. 2. Levi / Second Aliyah - can be purchased by a Levi or for a Levi. SOLD: $720 Buy it now: $720 "…And for his household." Aaron's confession is for the sake of his immediate and extended family (the Kohanim).

Revi’i / Fourth Aliyah Current bid: $540 Buy it now: $1800 "All the iniquities." Unlike the offerings mentioned previously, which atoned for sins involving contamination and the Temple, this (the Azazel) atoned for all transgressions over the past year (Shavuot 2b) - Purchasing this honor goes a long way in wiping your slate completely clean. 5. Chamishi / Fifth Aliyah Opening bid: $540 Buy it now: $1800 "For through this day atonement will be made for you, to purify you…" The essence of the day itself atones (Yoma)! 6. Shishi / Sixth Aliyah Current bid: $540 Buy it now: $1800 "This shall be an eternal statute to bring atonement upon the Children of Israel." If you haven't had a chance, this is the last one before Maftir, to really atone for the past. 7. Maftir - can be purchased by anyone. Current bid: $1000 Buy it now: $1800 The Haftorah read for this Maftir is a selection from Isaiah chosen because of its focus on the proper manner of penitence. The prophet harshly criticizes those who think they can gain appeasement from G‑d by merely fasting and through physical affliction devoid of inner-conviction. Instead, he urges; true repentance involves extreme kindness and charity and changing one's ways. By acquiring this honor you epitomize what Isaiah wanted from Israel, thereby finding favor in G‑d's Eyes. 8. Hagbah I: Raising the Torah - can be purchased by anyone.
