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.
In addition to our services, we invite our members to join us on the first day of Rosh Hashanah for a Tashlikh ceremony, in which we symbolically cast off our regrettable 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 and email announcements 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 listserv.
People viewing the livestreamed services will be able to follow along by viewing our service booklet available below, or by downloading this booklet to your device from its “…” option in the book’s toolbar below.
