Rosh Hashanah Services

Join us for a beautiful and moving service of music and contemplation that expresses traditional Rosh Hashanah themes while honoring human reason and human dignity. Our celebration combines familiar passages with innovative language so that cultural Jews can mark these holidays in a way that is consistent with humanistic beliefs.

Learn more about our High Holiday services.

Children attend their own participatory program and join the rest of the congregation for the blowing of the shofar.

There will be no meal following the service this year, but members are arranging an informal gathering at a nearby restaurant.
