High Holidays 2023/5783
High Holiday services will be lay-led this year by our members. If you would like to help with services, please contact us. Rosh Hashanah services on Day 1 will be more traditional, with Day 2 being more of an informal time of prayer at the synagogue. A tashlich service will follow on Day 2, which will include time for families with young children. For more information about the High Holiday schedule, please visit our homepage.
