High Holidays 2024

 

We are pleased to present our 2024 Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services in person to our members, their families and guests. We will also be live-streaming the services on YouTube to members and non-members who wish to join us virtually. As always, our services are free of charge.

CHJ celebrates Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur with contemplative services incorporating music, readings, and rituals that strike a balance between our connections to the broad stream of Judaism and our secular humanistic view of Jewish culture and customs. Our services invite us to reflect on our values and commitments, both as individuals and as a  community.

In addition to our services, we invite our members to join us on the first day of Rosh Hashanah for a Taschlich ceremony, in which we symbolically cast away our sins. On Yom Kippur Day, we offer a Members’ Workshop and a Members’ Meditation, both to be held on Zoom.
