High Holidays 2024

Yom Kippur is Friday evening, October 11- Shabbat, October 12.

There will be three services running concurrently over chag with an Ashkenaz minyan in the main sanctuary, another Ashkenaz minyan in the social hall, and a Sephardic minyan in the beit midrash.
REGISTRATION
Please fill out the form below and indicate your family's preferences of location for each holiday and how many seats you will are reserving. Our kehila has grown significantly in the past few years, so not every preference can be accommodated, however we will do our best to honor your request where possible.

YOUTH
Children’s programming is a vital part of our community’s High Holiday
Once again, we have hired Team Makers to run activities for children pre-K through fifth grade (sixth graders may join the fifth grade group, at their parents’ discretion).
All children over age 10 must have a seat in a minyan or be registered in groups.
Kesher Yizkor Book 5785
This year Kesher will again be publishing a “Yizkor Book of Remembrance”. It will contain the text of the Yizkor prayers, psalms, inspirational thoughts and a list of names of our departed ones. This list serves as a way of acknowledging the importance of our link to those who are no longer with us, and the contributions they have made in our lives. The Yizkor books will be used throughout 5785, on Yom Kippur, Shemini Atzeret, Pesach and Shavuot.
Please list the names of those you wish to memorialize in the form below. Feel free to include names of parents, grandparents, siblings, or others. The cost of memorializing your loved ones is $25 per name. There is no charge if you are a Trustee or President-level member. Please note that names submitted for the 5784 book will not automatically be listed in the 5785 version.
Please fill out the form by Monday, September 23. Thank you!
