We invite you to commemorate the High Holidays at Shearith Israel. Learn about our special traditions, view prayer schedules, reserve seats for services, and explore classes and lectures delivered by our clergy.
This year, Rosh HaShana 5787 begins on Friday evening, September 11 through Sunday, September 13, and Kippur is Sunday evening, September 20 through Monday, September 21.
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.
Preview our powerful and unique Spanish and Portuguese liturgy for Rosh HaShana and Kippur.
