• 4:30 p.m. — Yizkor - Eileh Ezkarah - These We Remember - October 7, 2023 was the worst day in Jewish history since the Holocaust.  Some say it has forced modern Jews back into history.  This year, while our Yizkor service will indeed invite us into solemn memory for our loved ones who are no more, we will remind ourselves of the remarkably difficult history that has plagued the Jewish people for millennia. From the ancient Roman persecutions to the Shoah, from struggles for civil rights to modern day Afghanistan, we Jews have suffered collectively and as individuals.  We will remember them, as well our own, and just as in years past,  our Yizkor service always includes a slideshow of your/our loved ones who are no longer with us. If you have submitted pictures and names in the past, they remain in the slideshow.   To submit photos of loved ones not yet represented, click HERE.  
• 5:15 p.m. — Neilah Service. A  beautiful and moving conclusion to Yom Kippur, we sing, we pray, we remember and redouble our focus on becoming our best selves.
• 6:00 p.m. — Havdalah. As all are invited to join us on or near the bima (stage), we conclude Yom Kippur with the rituals of light, spices and wine, hoping that our greatest self discoveries of these days linger and inspire our senses.
• 6:15 p.m. — Break Fast -  More information on how to register to join us for Break Fast will be available soon!
