Erev Rosh Hashanah (the evening that begins the Jewish New Year) marks the beginning of the High Holy Days—a season of reflection, renewal, and hope. Join our community as we welcome the new year through music, prayer, and moments of quiet reflection, opening our hearts to the possibilities of the year ahead.

The service includes Maariv, the traditional Jewish evening prayer service that ushers in both the holiday and the new year. Whether you’ve celebrated these holidays your whole life or are experiencing them for the first time, we hope you’ll feel at home as we begin this sacred journey together. Rabbi Ariel will offer a d’var Torah (teaching).
