The High Holidays at Congregation B'nai Emunah
From the first sounds of shofar through the waning fall days of the Sukkot harvest festival, our community is bustling with activity throughout the High Holiday season. The heart of this activity takes place on Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur. With services, youth programming, and meals happening throughout, we hope you'll find a way to connect with our community in this season of rejoicing and renewal. Programming will take place in person, along with digital and hybrid options available throughout the season.
Over many years, the Synagogue has worked hard to reach out to everyone in our community, veterans and newcomers alike. Our aim is to open a place in the congregation for anyone who might want to be part of our family. Wherever you stand on the map of Jewish life and culture, you matter to us. All the old divisions between different denominations and points of origin seem obsolete. We think of ourselves as a “just Jewish” community.
There are no tickets or admissions requirements of any kind. All are welcome. Please RSVP for meals so we can plan for your participation.
