High Holy Days

On the High Holidays there is a full schedule of services on the first and second day of Rosh Hashana and on Yom Kippur. There is a Cantorial Soloist present on the High Holidays and other special holidays. No tickets are required for High Holiday services. Temple members are entitled to seats at no charge, non-members are asked to make at least a $50 donation. Donation cards are placed in the prayer books and in the foyer.

On the afternoon of the first day of Rosh Hashana, the Temple includes the tradition of Tashlikh ("casting off"). At the conclusing of the morning service, the Temple members walk the few blocks to Ell Pond where a few prayers are recited along the shore. Afterwards, the members symbolically "cast off" their sins by throwing small pieces of bread or pebbles into the water.
