According to Rabbi Reuven Mintz of the Jewish Center, “Many families don’t attend services because the synagogue environment is foreign to them. There is a need to reach out and ensure that they too are welcomed to services on these holiest days of the Jewish year.”

To this end, the inspirational Jewish New Year services sponsored by the Chabad Center for Jewish Life are designed to be user-friendly, making it educational, enjoyable and meaningful for both the novice and the expert. There are options for traditional as well as short and sweet services, and for indoor and outdoor services overlooking the Back Bay. There will also be an exciting, interactive children’s program.

High Holiday services schedule:

–Rosh Hashanah - Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 16-17

–Yom Kippur - Sunday and Monday, Sept. 24-25

No tickets or membership fees are required. All are welcome.
