Temple Israel
The High Holy Days at Temple Israel are a celebration of community and an opportunity for spiritual transformation for nearly 3,000 members and guests who join us for services. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have made the decision to move services online only. Though we will greatly miss having everyone together in our building, we’ve put together services and programs that will be memorable and meaningful.
This year, even though we can’t physically be together, let’s celebrate the High Holy Days online with Kavanah, the Hebrew word for direction and intention.
Shanah Tovah!
