High Holidays 5770

L'shanah tovah from The Jewish Theological Seminary. For decades, JTS has served as the makom tefillah (place of prayer) for Jews of the Upper West Side and the JTS community on the High Holy Days. To attend services at JTS this year, you must register in advance (see below for details).

There will be three services at JTS during the Yamim Nora'im:

1. The JTS Main Service—Feinberg Auditorium. Conducted by Rabbi Marc Wolf and Rabbi Abigail Treu, the JTS Main Service features a traditional liturgy with kavanot (explanations). Chancellor Arnold Eisen will deliver a sermon at Kol Nidrei services.

2. The Kehillah Minyan—Women's League Seminary Sanctuary. Join rabbinical students Michelle Dardashti and Charlie Schwartz on a journey through the High Holy Day liturgy, which will fuse traditional and contemporary melodies and modes and offer helpful English navigation along the way. Whether you are a well-traveled synagogue-goer or new to the path, the Kehillah Minyan will be a warm and engaging community with which to spend these Days of Awe. Space is limited.

3. On Yom Kippur, JTS will hold a Beit Midrash Minyan in the Eisenfeld/Duker Beit Midrash at JTS. Led by Rabbi Charles Savenor, this minyan will include congregational participation with niggunim and few interruptions.

Once again, JTS will be hosting Kehilat Hadar for Rosh Hashanah. Reservations are required and open to members of the Hadar community. For more information, please visit their website at www.kehilathadar.org.
