Multi-Gen Engagement Services - NEW THIS YEAR!
Rabbi Kelley Gludt will lead an engaging multi-generational service. Geared toward middle-elementary school age and up, everyone is welcomed to attend. The service will include key High Holiday prayers and melodies, as well as an abbreviated Torah reading.

Special Kol Nidre Services led by Larry Paul
Chazzan Larry Paul will lead Kol Nidre services to open Yom Kippur. The informal setting of the Cherner Auditorium promotes a comfortable community experience.

Services will be available via Zoom Webinar. Links will be published in time for the Holidays.
