Deadline: September 9
All Members and guests will be assigned seats in the Main Sanctuary.
Please submit your seating request (including accessibility needs) here.
We invite you to commemorate the High Holidays at Shearith Israel. Learn about our special traditions, see our safety precautions and your health responsibilities, view prayer schedules, reserve seats for services, and explore classes and lectures delivered by our clergy.
This year, Rosh HaShana 5784 begins on Friday evening, September 15, through Sunday, September 17, and Kippur is Sunday evening, September 24 and Monday, September 25.
On Rosh HaShana and Kippur, the sanctuary takes on a special aura of purity and holiness. The Torah scrolls are dressed in white silk cloaks, and the Myer Myers Rimonim grace the Torah scrolls.
It is our custom to make memorial offerings during Kippur services and offerings of thanksgiving on Succot. These offerings are a beautiful way to memorialize or pay tribute to loved ones and help maintain our synagogue.
Rabbi Soloveichik will deliver an enlightening lecture on the themes of teshuba on Shabbat, September 23.
For members and friends who are unable to hear the shofar during services, we will be offering 2 separate outdoor shofar blowing services.
No registration or reservations are required.
Preview our powerful and unique Spanish and Portuguese liturgy for Rosh HaShana and Kippur.
