high holy days 5770

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 Yom Kippur, we offer a wide array of High Holy Day programming to serve the diverse needs of our community.

All services are a mix of English and Hebrew, combining honored traditions and inspirational modern texts. Congregational singing and participation is a core part of our practice. Rabbi Yoel Kahn and Rabbinic Intern Reuben Zellman will officiate at all services. Our machzor (High Holiday 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 Holidays.
● 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.
