We warmly welcome everyone to register for the High Holiday services HERE.
Rosh Hashanah begins on Wednesday evening October 2 and Yom Kippur begins on Friday evening October 11.
We are delighted to be offering High Holidays 5785/2024 services at the Mile Nadal JCC and at the shul. Rabbi Ed Elkin will lead all services at the MNJCC – Erev Rosh Hashanah, Rosh Hashanah Day 1, Rosh Hashanah Day 2, Erev Yom Kippur (Kol Nidre), Yom Kippur, Mincha and Neilah. Ruth Rohn will lead all services at the shul - the first day of Rosh Hashanah, Erev Yom Kippur, and Yom Kippur day. Shul seats are limited, so please register early on our website. Please note: We will not be offering services at the shul on the second day of Rosh Hashanah or on Yom Kippur afternoon.
On Rosh Hashanah Day I and Yom Kippur Day, Family Services will be led by Fran Sharpe and on Kol Nidre by Marcia Beck with Carly Prusky (Director of Family and Youth Engagement) and wonderful parent and teen volunteers. These services are designed for children ages 0 to 12 and their families.
On Rosh Hashanah Day II, Sarah Colman will be lead Beyachad Bachootz, an outdoor all-ages service in the MNJCC playground where we will come together as a community to transform the outdoors into a sacred space. At the same time, Carly Prusky will lead a Family Program for children ages 8 and under for parents and children to enjoy together. Please see the Family Service webpage for more details.
Please keep in mind that children are warmly welcome at all High Holiday services.
As we did last year, a link to the audio of our High Holiday services in the MNjcc gym will be made available for those who need to stay at home. However, we strongly encourage those that are able to take the opportunity to join the community in-person, and be surrounded by others as we reaffirm our Jewish traditions. If you would like to receive the audio link, please register using the link above.
Tickets for services will be emailed to all members and all registrants just before Rosh Hashanah. If you don’t have email, we will mail them to you by post.
Our High Holiday offerings are many and varied, and we hope that there is something for everyone in our community. Our goal is to offer an experience of these ancient holidays which is beautiful, inspiring, and traditional, as we welcome the new year of 5785.
