Rosh Hashanah October 3 - 4

Yom Kippur October 12

Shanah Tovah!

Rosh Hashanah provides each of us with the opportunity to reflect on the previous year and resolve to be kinder and more generous in the coming one.

The year ahead is ripe with opportunity to live more purposefully and make the world a better place.

We hope you’ll join us in this sacred work of caring for the needs of our global Jewish community.

Together, we can make the world even sweeter.
