We are pleased to have Rabbi Akiva Herzfeld lead services again this year with Chazzanim Eitan Kahn, Aryeh Herzfeld and Itamar Cohen. Rabbi Herzfeld will explain significant parts of the service in an interesting and easily comprehensible manner even for those with limited Judaic or Hebrew knowledge.

There is no charge for High Holiday services. However, we appreciate any donations you feel inclined to provide to help us remain sustainable. As a small synagogue with limited membership, we rely on your generosity and philanthropy.

Thank you to those who have remitted dues and/or donations! Shana Tova, may you have a sweet and happy New Year!
