Rosh Hashanah 5786 | 2025

ROSH HASHANAH High Holy Days 2025 | 5786: September 22-24

Whether you celebrate with us virtually or in person, Beth Am offers opportunities for us to come together in the New Year. Rosh Hashanah is an opportunity to celebrate our creation, but also a time of accounting and judgment for our actions. On Rosh Hashanah, we review choices we've made over the past year, our actions and our intentions, as we attempt to honestly evaluate ourselves.

High Holy Day Food Drive
The High Holy Days are a time for personal reflection; they are also a time for us to share with those who are less fortunate. Every year BATY (Beth Am Temple Youth) sponsor an annual High Holy Day Food Drive for the congregation — a longstanding Beth Am tradition. Learn more.
