High Holidays

The High Holidays are a time for reflection, introspection, prayer, and re-connection. We welcome you to join us in celebrating and observing these special Holy days. We offer a variety of services to meet the spiritual needs of our diverse community. Come share the spirit and wisdom of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. These Holy Days are a time of prayer, music, reflection and learning. Come and join our congregational family for a spiritually deep High Holiday experience.

In the tradition of Congregation Shalom’s founding families, no tickets are required for our High Holiday services; they are open to members and non-members alike.

We look forward to sharing the High Holidays together!
