High Holy Days 5771
Congregation Beth El invites you to join us for a spiritually uplifting start to the New Year. Beginning with Selichot, a service of preparation and reflection, and continuing through Sukkot & Simchat Torah we offer a wide array of High Holy Days programming to serve the diverse needs of our community. Please review the information below and on the calendar to learn about our inspiring High Holy Days season at Beth El.
All services include English and Hebrew, combining honored traditions and inspirational modern texts. Congregational singing and participation are core parts of our practice. Rabbi Yoel Kahn and Rabbi Reuben Zellman will officiate at all services. Our machzor (High Holy Days prayer book) includes the English transliteration of all Hebrew prayers.
• Early Services emphasize contemporary English readings and feature folk and contemporary musical settings.
• Late Services place greater emphasis on the historical liturgy and feature the timeless music of the High Holy Days.
• Tot Services are for pre-school age children and their families.
• Family Services are designed for elementary school-age children; middle school students are encouraged to attend the Early or Late service with their families.
The deadline for submitting your High Holy Days ticket requests was Monday, August 9th. Tickets may still be available. Please contact Lenora O'Keith in the Main Office at for more information.
Tickets are not needed for the Family and Tot Services.
