Shanah Tovah!
The High Holy Days are a glorious time at Temple Beth Elohim. We gather as a full community for services on Erev Rosh Hashanah, Rosh Hashanah morning (Day One and Day Two), Kol Nidre and all day on Yom Kippur. We look deeply into our souls and our faith through prayer, we learn from our rabbis, and we are ennobled by the music of our cantor and congregational choir and musicians.
Below are excerpts from our 5773 High Holy Day services:
