On Erev Rosh Hashanah, there will be two identical back-to-back services in the sanctuary, in order to accommodate all in our community who wish to attend in person. We will continue to offer hybrid services for those who prefer to pray from home.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Celebrate the sweetness of gathering in community, as we welcome the new year with services that are joyful, filled with music and time for prayer that will recalibrate you for the year to come. Services will be both in-person and virtual, unless otherwise indicated.
IMPORTANT RITUALS
Tashlich: The act of tashlich (“casting off”) allows us to leave behind the habits, missteps, and regrets of the past year. Learn more about our tashlich rituals here.
What to Eat: Jews around the world enjoy different ritual foods in honor of Rosh Hashanah. Some of the customary foods include apples dipped into honey to commemorate the sweetness of the New Year. Other traditional foods to eat include a round challah, to symbolize the unending cycle of life and pomegranates, whose seeds symbolize the number of mitzvot (good deeds/actions) we are called upon to perform in the coming year.
