High Holidays 5785
We are excited to come together for a time of renewal, connection, and inspiration. These holidays offer us a special opportunity to strengthen our bonds and find meaning through shared experiences.
We have created a variety of opportunities for everyone to connect in their own way. Our schedule includes diverse worship experiences, ranging from different service styles and locations to special programs for families, young children, and teens. Many of our children's services are free and open to the wider community, inviting everyone to join us in celebration.
As we step into the year 5785, may we all find deeper connections to our Judaism and each other. Together, let’s embrace the strength and resilience that come from being part of this vibrant community.
