High Holy Days
High Holy Day liturgy and Eichah (Lamentations)
Each fall our doors are wide open for all who wish to celebrate the High Holy Days in community. Tickets are not required for members or guests, however guests are encouraged to make a donation to the congregation as they are able. Every adult must register in order to attend.
Memberships are not required for Shir's High Holidays services! We wish to keep services accessible to all. Donations are not required. If you are able to help defray the costs, any contribution is welcomed and greatly appreciated! Click here to donate!
At Congregation Shir Hadash you will encounter much that you would expect at Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services: special liturgy, beautiful music, hearing the shofar, reciting yiskor. You will also experience some things you might not expect: interpretive poetry, personal stories from congregation members, a warm, welcoming atmosphere, the opportunity to come up to the Torah for a group aliyah.
The Days of Awe at Shir Hadash feel a lot like our events throughout the year - only higher!
