High Holy Days
The High Holy Days are the most sacred days of the Jewish calendar. Here at Congregation B’nai Shalom, we begin with the month leading up to Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish month of Elul), with opportunities to spiritually prepare for the New Year, with classes and Selichot (usually the Saturday night before Rosh Hashanah).
Over Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year) and Yom Kippur(the Day of Atonement), Congregation B’nai Shalom provides opportunities for meaningful worship for all ages. Our full schedule of offerings is available on our High Holy Day Information pages (see below) as the season approaches.
The festivals continue with the holidays of Sukkot and Simchat Torah, ending out an intensive month of spiritual renewal with joyful gatherings, festive meals, and many opportunities to participate and celebrate. One of the special experiences we offer to end the season is the unrolling of the entire Torah around our sanctuary, with many of our teenagers and adults chanting short excerpts as we review the five books of the Torah.
We also depend on the support of our members, visitors, and friends throughout the year to help support our mission of being a hub of Jewish Life in our area. Please contribute to our Annual / High Holy Days Appeal
