It is a time for rejoicing as well as for serious introspection. It is a time to celebrate the completion of another year while taking stock of one’s life. These two days of Rosh Hashanah usher in the <a href="https://www.myjewishlearning.com/holidays/Jewish_Holidays/Rosh_Hashanah/High_Holidays/Ten_Days.shtml">Ten Days of Repentance</a>. These Ten Days of Awe culminate on the major fast day of <a href="https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/yom-kippur-101/">Yom Kippur</a>, also known as the Day of Atonement. The shofar which is a ram’s horn that sounds like a trumpet is sounded as a special wake-up call to prepare for the Tishrei holidays. Rosh Hashanah is respected as the Day of Judgment for our Books of Life and Death; which are then sealed for us on Yom Kippur. Non-members will be requested to make a deposit for High Holiday prayer books.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Congregation Sinai helps the Central Florida community celebrate all Jewish holidays with special events and weekly services. Their virtual service events are free and open to the community. Sinai has now started to resume safe, socially distanced regular weekly Friday evening Kabbalat Shabbat Services at their temple in Groveland.</p>
<p>With the dramatic recent rise in anti-Semitic and hate crimes, Congregation Sinai has become the very first Groveland business to install the new state-of-the-art <em>Blueline 360 Active Threat Early Alert System.</em> They have installed hardened windows, doors and other protective measures for the safety of their membership. They also have developed a close relationship with the Groveland Police, to have extra surveillance on hand during all temple activities.</p>

<p>Endorsed by Chief Ramsey and the Groveland Police Department, Blueline 360 has developed new distribution avenues for their AT-EAS Active Threat Solutions and services across Florida. They are now educating business owners and consumers alike about the innovative Blueline program. Blueline CEO James Billig notes, “We understand the need to get our lifesaving technology into schools, businesses, government offices, community centers and houses of worship across America in order to change the potential outcome of deadly and destructive mass shootings.”</p>
<p>Blueline 360 utilizes two automated and simultaneous platforms to conduct assessments. One platform is specifically designed for schools and the other for all public and private entities. We apply our training and expertise to every assessment we conduct to develop comprehensive corrective action plans for our clients.  Billig adds, “Through our trusted distribution and industry partners, Blueline is able to offer the proper rapid alert system products that will work in conjunction with their existing technology and building design in order to create an effective corrective action plan.</p>
<p>The Big Difference is that Blueline 360 instantly alerts and immediately activates first responders and law enforcement with direct notice. This innovative new life-saving system saves valuable minutes, while alerting all local area patrol cars and law enforcement within seconds. A normal 911 call for help can sometimes take 5 to 7 minutes, before any help arrives on the scene.</p>

<p>Blueline 360 is a security consulting firm that provides Active Threat Solutions and services. Blueline James Billig shares, “Our Florida based team of retired law enforcement, first responders and military veterans work together to apply over 200 years of combined expertise to immediately identify instantaneous vulnerability and to quickly initiate corrective-action plans focused on Active Threat preparedness. Blueline 360’s primary function is to facilitate and manage the implementation of our Active Threat Early Alert System &#8212; AT-EAS.” All Groveland Police have been trained on this new AT-ES Alert System. Other area businesses, churches and houses of worship are also now preparing for installation.

<p><strong>Passover: </strong>The Passover Seder is an important annual ritual that is performed by a community or by multiple generations of a family. Also known as <em>‘Pesach’</em>, the special <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_holidays">family Seder dinner</a>s help Jews commemorate the liberation of the Israelites from slavery in ancient Egypt. This holiday also celebrates the “Passing Over” of the evil forces of destruction, and the sparing of the firstborn of the Israelites on the eve of the Exodus. The Haggadah story is retold by families worldwide from the Book of Exodus in The Hebrew Bible. Passover is often celebrated with great traditions, rituals, prayers and ceremony, especially with Seders held on the first and second nights.</p>
