Preparing for the Days of Awe

As the High Holy Days approach, here is some information to help you prepare for this season.

Rosh Hashanah: September 22-23

Whether you plan to celebrate with us virtually or in person, Beth Am offers opportunities for us to come together the welcome the New Year.

Yom Kippur: October 1-2

Beth Am provides opportunities for us to come together, both in person and virtually, for communal repentance and teshuvah.

Holidays Continue: October 6-14

Sukkot, the most joyous of Jewish holidays, offers us an opportunity to connect with the natural world and give thanks for the autumn harvest. On Simchat Torah, Jews around the world complete the reading of the Torah and begin anew with the first words of Genesis. And on Shemini Atzeret we recite yizkor (memorial) prayers in remembrance of our loved ones.
