High Holidays

L’Shanah tovah tikateivu! May you be inscribed for a good year.

The High Holy Days of Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur are quickly approaching, and we are preparing a season filled with meaningful opportunities to pray, learn, and reflect—together as a community. Whether this is your first time joining us or you’ve celebrated with us for many years, we hope you’ll find a spiritual home with us this season.

Many of our services will be multi-access, meaning you can attend in person or online—whatever feels most comfortable for you. As always, we are committed to creating services that are inclusive, welcoming, and spiritually engaging for all ages.

Families Welcome

We are especially excited to offer a variety of family-friendly options. Our family and tot High Holy Day services are open to all and don't require registration:

• Tot Services for families with children ages 0–6
• Family Services designed for children in grades K–5
• Low-cost childcare available during main services for children ages 6 weeks to 6 years (pre-registration required)
• Activity bags and a supervised break space for children during services (parental supervision required)

Let this year be one of renewal, reflection, and reconnection—for each of us and for our community.

As we gather to observe the High Holy Days and reflect on the past year, we are reminded of the profound sense of community and connection that our synagogue provides. This season is a time for introspection, renewal, and coming together to support one another. As we move toward 5786, let us each take a moment to consider how we can continue to build and strengthen our community.

We rely on the generosity of our members and supporters to sustain and enhance the programs, services, and community that are so important to us all.

Your support is crucial. Our appeal is that, when you decide to give, you do so with n’divut ha-lev, generosity of heart.

Every gift, no matter the size, makes a significant impact and is deeply appreciated.
