Throughout the year, Kol Emeth celebrates the Jewish Holidays in both traditional and innovative ways. Our Rabbis and teachers strive to make every holiday meaningful and fulfilling for all participants. Our Holiday services are for everyone of all ages and backgrounds and we hope you’ll join us!
Here are some of our major annual offerings. You’ll always find the latest information on service times and other holiday activities on the calendar.
Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur:
Welcome the new year with a variety of different services for adults and kids alike. Gather together for our traditional Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services, but also make sure to join us for Taslich in a local park, or one of our alternative services like “Rosh Hashanah in the Round.” For families, please check out our youth services for different age groups, Chugim activities or take a break with old and new friends the game room or teen lounge!
We also keep a collection of High Holiday sermons and talks that you can access here.
