High Holy Days Services for Members

Our services and sanctuary brim with activity and congregants during the High Holy Days. Across Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, our members, their young children, their adult children, their extended family and guests come together to worship and participate in spiritual reflection as a community. It is a time of wonder, introspection, tradition and connection and we look forward to welcoming 5787 with you.

Introducing a New Service

This year, we are excited to announce In the Round, a new service which will take place in a visually transformed ballroom.

Led by Rabbi Stephanie Kolin and Cantor Leslie Goldberg, this service will use the Reform machzor and incorporate a mix of traditional ritual, creative engagement with prayer, and communal singing. It will be a powerful manifestation of our growing community and you will want to experience it.
