High Holy Days 2022/5783
Another New Year and the Days of Awe are upon us! We invite you to join us as we gather in community for this wondrous season of renewal.
As always, we are pleased to offer a diversity of experiences, from traditional Reconstructionist worship services to those with a modern, intimate flare.
How are services being offered this year?
Most High Holy Days services will be accessible online, and we welcome any Jew in search of a community for the High Holy Days to join us on Zoom or watch our livestreams, at no cost. Whether you're a year-round Kol HaLev member, you've shared a previous holiday season or virtual Shabbat with us, you're an occasional guest, or you're brand new and want to learn more about the Kol HaLev experience, you're most welcome to join us online for the High Holy Days, free of charge. Registration is required, however, if you want to join on Zoom.
Kol HaLev members will also have in-person options.
Returning to in-person services while there is still an active pandemic is logistically complex. Our goal is to best serve all of our members’ needs, understanding we are a caring community first and foremost, and that there are members for whom returning in-person is not an option, or for whom an auditorium at full capacity would present a barrier to their safe attendance. We hope for our nonmember friends' understanding, and that you will consider joining us as guests online. Members, registration is required if you plan on attending anything in-person, or on Zoom.
Everything you need to know to register is downloadable from this website.
We ask for your patience as we work to bring our resources online for you; please check back soon. Members will receive a registration packet in the mail around September 14; members, and others who have attended our High Holy Days in the recent past, will also be receiving registration information in their email, if we have your email address.)

Make a Holiday Donation!
The High Holy Days is a traditional time for members to honor the memory of loved ones, and to show appreciation for the people and community that make life richer. If you are so moved, please consider making a contribution to support Kol HaLev and help us continue to offer these special opportunities for connection and meaning. We also offer several ways to donate in service of Tikkun Olam (repairing the world).
We look forward to celebrating with you soon. In the meantime, we invite you to enjoy some of our evergreen resources below.
