2021 High Holy Day Information

Monday, August 16, 2021

The High Holy Days offer us the opportunity to come together as a community. Our worship is beautiful, meaningful and uplifting. We are thankful to our professional staff, board members and volunteers who enable our services to flow and to be dignified.

Because of our concerns about Covid 19, our Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services will be held exclusively on-line. In-person services have been canceled. There will be an in-person Rosh Hashanah Family Service on September 7 held at Loose Park Pavilion at 5:00 pm and a communal Tashlich Service will be held at 6:00 pm at the Loose Park Pond.

Our services will viewable on our website (watch here), Facebook page (watch here), and our YouTube channel  (watch here).
