High Holidays

We look forward to welcoming you to our High Holiday Services.

Our High Holiday Services are designed to be inclusive, welcoming, and respectful of the many traditions that our community represents.

We do not require tickets for attendance, but we kindly ask you to consider making a donation. Your generosity helps us cover the substantial expenses of hosting these services and supporting Jewish life in the Upper Valley year-round. Thank you for your support; together, we can ensure a vibrant community. Wishing you a healthy and sweet New Year. L’Shanah Tovah!
