Yom Kippur Services
High Holidays 2026
We are pleased to present our 2026 Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services in person to our members, their families and guests. New this year, non-members may join us for our in-person services if they pre-register. (Registration instructions are set forth below.) We will also be live streaming the services to members and non-members who wish to join us virtually. Our services are free of charge, but we kindly ask non-members joining us to please consider donating to help offset our production costs.
CHJ celebrates Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur with contemplative services incorporating music, readings, and rituals that strike a balance between our connections to the broad stream of Judaism and our secular humanistic view of Jewish culture and customs. Our services invite us to reflect on our values and commitments, both as individuals and as a community.
On Yom Kippur Day, we offer a Members’ Workshop and a Members’ Meditation, both to be held on Zoom.
Members’ Workshop via Zoom @ 1pm:
Topic: “A Humanistic Perspective on Atonement/At-one-ment on Yom Kippur”
Meditation via Zoom @ 2:30 pm
Memorial/Closing Service @ 5:00 pm
Members should refer to the CHJ website and email announcements for the locations of the various services and events. Doors open 30 minutes before services begin. The live stream services will commence at the times listed below.
