It is hard to believe that the High Holidays are right around the corner! Rabbi Greyber, the Beth El staff and generous volunteers have been busy preparing for the New Year – 5784.

Whether you have been with us for decades or this is your first service at Beth El, our comprehensive High Holiday Guide has everything you need to know: from service times, to instructions for ordering lulavs & etrogs, and more!

You can also find the High Holiday Guide posted on the Beth El website under the tab labeled “Pray With Us.” We hope you find it useful throughout the season. In addition to the High Holiday Guide and our High Holiday webpage, service times can also be found on our calendar. This year, all services will be in-person and main sanctuary services will also be livestreamed on our website. If you still have questions, please don’t hesitate to call the office.
