Thank You
Our 2025/5786 High Holiday Season brought hundreds of people together in prayer, song, study, contemplation, and gratitude. And we got to pet a llama!
It truly does ‘take a village’ to create a meaningful, beautiful hybrid High Holiday experience for all ages. We are so grateful for the many volunteers who made our Holiday season so successful!
