High Holy Days Schedule

All services will be available to stream virtually both in real-time and on-demand (upon the conclusion of the service). Links and information will be posted on our website before the Holy Days. 

For security reasons, tickets are required for all services including those that are open to the community. You will need to display e-tickets upon entry for every service you attend, either printed or on a mobile device. Member tickets provide access to all services and children under 22 years old do not need tickets. Tickets are non-transferable.


10:00 am – It takes a village to prepare for the High Holy Days, from polishing Torah ornaments and ritual silver to preparing food drive bags, organizing supplies, assisting in the office, and helping ready our building for the season. RSVP

6:00 pm – Havdinner Havdalah returns with a special Selichot edition. Join us for a relaxed evening of good food, meaningful conversation, and a musical Havdalah as we begin turning our hearts toward the High Holy Days. The evening will include a brief but reflective Selichot ritual, with the opportunity afterward to help change the Torah mantles in preparation for the Days of Awe.* RSVP

7:00 pm – The High Holy Days invite us to pause, reflect, and return to our deepest selves—but they can also stir complicated emotions. Join Beth Schafer and Temple Sinai’s Nefesh Committee for an honest and supportive conversation about preparing emotionally and spiritually for the season ahead. RSVP
