High Holiday Services with the Downtown Synagogue


Jewish holidays have evolved over millennia to meet the changing needs of the Jewish people. This year our Yamim Noraim, Days of Awe, will strike a balance between tradition and innovation as we prioritize keeping one another safe. Every learning opportunity and service except Tashlich/shofar blowing will be online and accessible through our website.
