Led by Rabbi Emeritus Michael Strassfeld, Celebrating the High Holidays: Contemplative High Holiday Services offers an inspired way to move into a New Year. Through readings, spiritual teachings, wordless melodies (niggunim), and quiet reflection, we explore our inner life as we consider the themes of these holy days. This year we will focus on the potential of renewal that the New Year offers to us. At Kol Nidrei we will reflect on how prayer can be a call to each of us to do teshuvah/change.

The contemplative services take place for one hour and a quarter on Erev Rosh Hashanah and one hour and a half on Kol Nidrei. We will be using a handout for the service, (which you are invited to keep).

Please note that anyone who purchases tickets for the regular SAJ services will be able to attend any of Rabbi Strassfeld’s services.
