I and my family are members of Temple Beth El in Augusta. We just celebrated the High Holy Days, the 10 days between Rosh Hashana (the Jewish New Year) and Yom Kippur (the day of atonement), also known as the days of awe.
Because we are doing some much-needed renovations to our building, we needed another place to hold our services. The Unitarian Universalist Church graciously let us use their sanctuary for this holy time for us.
In this time of divisiveness, it is important to note that different faith communities can come together to help each other and many people nearby and beyond.
We are grateful for their generosity and partnership in making the Greater Augusta area a better place.

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
