Warm and Welcoming

You are invited to join us for joyful, transformative, uplifting, deep, and meaningful High Holy Days services.

In our deeply moving services, you will experience your connection to the Divine. We weave together a brilliant tapestry of inspirational prayer experiences through singing, chanting, dancing, drumming, meditation, storytelling, and healing. Our community is a mixture of Jews and spiritual seekers of every level of observance, young and old, single, and partnered, GLBTQ, and differently-abled. You don’t need to know Hebrew, the prayers, or the tunes. All are warmly welcomed to experience the joy and depth of the High Holy Days.

We are blessed to have, in addition to our services, some of the greatest guest Rabbis, meditation and Kabbalah teachers. Topics will include: kabbalah kirtan, Tai chi, meditation, kabbalah classes and rituals, Chassidic female rebbe classes, Carlebach teachers and performers, movies, yoga, Book of Jonah, bird photos, a special Posteration Service, original videos of Reb Zalman zal and much more!

Once you register, you will have links and can visit at other times, so you don’t miss anything!

We will also provide second day virtual Rosh Hashanah tashlich.

So when we say services it is much more than a one hour service. You will have many more options. We respect your individual path and we are certain you will find what you are longing for on the high holy days that will fill your heart and that you can share with friends and our community!
