High Holidays 2025
High Holiday Registration
We have begun planning for services for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur and we look forward to celebrating together at Kesher throughout the Yamim Noraim.
Rosh Hashanah this year will be Monday evening, September 22 - Wednesday, September 24. Yom Kippur this year will be Wednesday evening, October 1- Thursday, October 2.
LOCATIONS
There will be services running concurrently in the main sanctuary, 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.
Please fill out the form only ONCE per family on behalf of you and your guests. If you need to make changes to your request after submitting, email Ruth to modify your submission. Please submit your seating requests by Monday, September 15.
PRICING
Full members are entitled to seats at no additional charge for their immediate family (adults and children over the age of 10 that live in the home).
Children under 10 are encouraged to attend youth groups. Please do not reserve seats for children that should be in youth groups.
Adult affiliate members can reserve seats for both holidays for $100 or $75 for one holiday. Child affiliates over the age of 10 can reserve seats for $50 for both holidays and $36 for one holiday.
GUESTS
Pricing for member guest seats is $180 per guest for both holidays or $100 for one holiday.
Trustee Council members are entitled to 2 free adult guests and 3 free child guests.
President Council members are entitled to unlimited guest seats.
YOUTH
Children’s programming is a vital part of our community’s High Holiday
Our High Holidays Youth Committee intends to once again hire Team Makers to run activities for children pre-K through fifth grade (sixth graders may join the fifth grade group, at their parents’ discretion). Team Makers will rotate the children through various stations, which will be located throughout the building.
All children over age 10 must have a seat in a minyan or be attending groups.
The youth programming registration will be sent next month. Stay tuned!
Kesher Yizkor Book 5786
We will again be assembling Kesher's “Yizkor Book of Remembrance.” As a reminder, the Yizkor book contains the text of the Yizkor prayers, psalms, inspirational thoughts and a list of names of our departed loved 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 cost of memorializing a loved one is $25 per name.
If you submitted a listing to the Yizkor book last year, your submission(s) will automatically be included this year and your account will be charged.
If you are a Trustee or President's level member, you may list an unlimited number of names for no fee.
If you would like to submit a new name or confirm what names are currently listed by your family you can do so here.
Submissions are due by Monday, September 8.

Misheberach List
We are reconstituting our misheberach list, to be used at our daily minyan each and every Monday and Thursday. Please click here to add the name of a friend or family member who is in need of healing. Even if it is a name you've added already, we are starting the list anew, so please add it again.
If you wish, include in the last column the description of the individual, so we know for whom we are davening (eg, "Rabbi Block's aunt Sarah").
