We are pleased to present our 2026 Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services in person to our members, their families and guests. We will also be livestreaming the services to members and non-members who wish to join us virtually. As always, our services are free of charge.
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.
In addition to our services, we invite our members to join us on the first day of Rosh Hashanah for a Taschlich ceremony, in which we symbolically cast off our bad actions and thoughts.
On Yom Kippur Day, we offer a Members’ Workshop and a Members’ Meditation, both to be held on Zoom.
Members should refer to the CHJ newsletter for the locations of the various services and events. Doors open 30 minutes before services begin. The livestream services will commence at the times listed below. Members will automatically receive the livestream links via the listserve.
Non-members who wish to attend our services are asked to please register in advance. If you would like to only view our services virtually, you must also register in advance to get these livestream links. Registration for either in person attendance or live stream only is at the bottom of this page.
People viewing the livestreamed services will be able to follow along by viewing our printed booklet available from this page, or by downloading this booklet from its “…” option in the book’s toolbar below.
