High Holidays 5787 - 2026

You are welcome - join us for High Holidays services

Our services are led in English, and are refreshingly casual and easy to follow. The prayers and songs are recited in both English and Hebrew and all are active participants in the service.

At Chabad YJP everyone feels at home and welcome. You may see yourself as unaffiliated, Reform, Conservative, or Orthodox. We see you as Jewish. No labels. No differences. Chabad is a home for every kind of Jew. So join us for the most inspiring and meaningful High Holiday services.

Services are inspiring, intimate, warm, engaging, and user-friendly. We bridge authentic tradition with contemporary experience and modern life. All Jewish backgrounds are warmly welcome.

All High Holiday services will take place at the Chai House!

All services are free, no membership fees, no ticket fees.

We believe that one shouldn't need to pay dues or membership fees to be a part of a Jewish community and to pray at High Holidays. To make this possible require generous partners and supposters.Your donation supports this and the many other programs we provide. All amounts make a difference and creates this beautiful community. Thank you!
