Rosh Hashanah Second Day Shofar Blowing and Walk

High Holy Days 5786 Information

The New Year 5786 begins with Rosh Hashanah on the evening of Monday, September 22. Yom Kippur begins on Wednesday evening, October 1.

This year, we offer Sanctuary services for all of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. We will also be offering a Tot Service and a Family Youth Service for the mornings of the two holidays, both held in the Weintraub Community Room. We are very happy to again provide live video options via Zoom for members and guests who wish to join us remotely for our services in the Sanctuary.

May the High Holy Days Bring Us All Renewal, Blessing, and Life!

Our community is eagerly awaiting the High Holy Days of 5786, days to find hope with one another, reflect on our lives, reconnect with one another, and seek healing for our broken world. As we approach this season this year, we pray it will be a good and healthy New Year for you and your dear ones, and for our entire community and Jews everywhere. Whether you choose to join us in person at the Temple or via your computer for the upcoming Elul events, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services, we pray that the promise of a new beginning for ourselves and our world will bring us goodness and blessing, life and health, and strength and courage in the Jewish New Year 5786.

Our High Holy Day prayer book says as the Shofar is sounded, “Hayom harat olam… Today, the world is born anew… Lovingly, God, receive our prayers!”  We pray that the New Year will fill us with hope and prayer, inspire us to action, and strengthen the connections for everyone within our community. May the High Holy Days help us renew our lives!
