High Holidays
Reflect and renew. The High Holidays of Elul, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are a time of reflection and introspection as one year comes to an end and another begins.

The last month of the Hebrew calendar, Elul offers us a chance to look back and review the passing year while making new commitments and resolutions for the year to come.
Elul: Begins at sunset, September 2, 2024
After this month of introspection, Rosh Hashanah – “the head of the year” or “the beginning of change” – is the first day to try out being the person we truly wish to be. With greater effort, awareness, and recommitting ourselves to repairing the world, we are told, we can celebrate the hope and possibility of a new year with a clean slate. This process is known as “doing teshuvah,” turning toward the best possible version of ourselves.
Rosh Hashanah: Begins at sunset, October 2 // Observed October 2 –4, 2024
Yom Kippur, “the day of atonement” signals the finale of this reflection process with one final push toward reconciliation and release from feeling as though we have missed the mark. The goal is to make thoughtful resolutions that lead us to be better people.
Yom Kippur: Begins at sunset, October 11 // Observed October 12, 2024
