Aish HaTorah will offer educational services at two locations — the Aish Firehouse and Nusach Hari B’nai Zion — during the High Holidays, as well as a Rosh Hashanah dinner at the Firehouse.

Services are concise, inspirational, traditional but totally alternative. Questions are welcome and no Hebrew is necessary.
