Tonight, we look forward to joining as friends and family to celebrate the beginning of Rosh Hashanah and the year 5782. The Erev Rosh Hashanah service begins at 7:30 on our High Holidays Website. Instructions for connecting are below.
Find the All Events and Services link and navigate to the service
A Zoom link will be available five minutes ahead of the start time. Here's a quick how-to video for signing in and joining a session.
Tonight's service will be in webinar form to allow for greater attendee capacity. You may briefly find yourself in a waiting room when you join it, and when you enter, you will only be able to see the service leaders, not the other attendees. The same will be true on Erev Yom Kippur, but all other services will be in the more familiar format that allows us to see each other.
We can't wait to gather together online for Rosh Hashanah! L'Shanah Tovah!
