Rosh Hashanah


Rosh Hashanah is more than the start of a new year. It is a sacred time for reflection, renewal, and connection.

As we begin the Ten Days of Repentance and journey toward Yom Kippur, we gather in prayer, song, and tradition, finding strength and meaning in community. Through the sounding of the shofar, dipping apples in honey, and other cherished rituals, we mark this season with intention and hope.

May you feel the comfort of belonging and the support of those around you as we welcome the year ahead.

Shanah Tovah. Wishing you a sweet, meaningful, and fulfilling New Year.

Please see the schedule below for service times and locations.
