For more than four decades, Havurah Shalom has opened our High Holiday services to the community, members and nonmembers alike. Admission is free and no tickets are required.

This year we returned to in-person services, accompanied by online options. We are glad so many of you joined us! If you would like to make a donation in honor of what you received or want to help us continue offering High Holiday services to everyone, at no charge, please consider making a High Holidays donation here.

High Holidays Committee

Led by Sacha Reich, the High Holidays Committee plans the content of the upcoming High Holidays services, working with the rabbi, other staff, and lay leaders to ensure that Havurah offers welcoming, meaningful, and inspiring community-led services.
