Our High Holiday program this year
Learn how to follow and sing-along (better) with our services with a free shabbat lunch
Like every year, we prepare the High Holidays together with a free shabbat lunch where we practice the tunes of the High Holidays together and where we help you to follow our services better. Everyone is welcome to join the shabbat lunch for free, on September 28th, from 1PM.
Morning services
We will have services on the first and second morning of Rosh Hashanah from 9.30AM. October 3rd and 4th. On both days, there will be a room designated for kids to play. If there is enough interest we will organise something on Thursday after ‘working hours’.
Yom Kippur
On Friday evening October 11th we will start the Kal Nidrei service at 6.30M. On Shabbat October 12th, we start at 9.15AM and finish around 7.45PM with havdalah and breaking the fast together. On Shabbat, starting at 11AM, we will have an experienced volunteer present to take care of the kids, play some games with them and serve some drinks, bread and snacks.
Voluntary contribution
There will be a lot of singing, we will facilitate a special playing room for the children. Furthermore, we offer a tasty kiddush after the Rosh Hashana services and some food and drinks after Yom Kippur to break the fast. Participation is completely free of charge, but donations are very welcome, especially this year, so we can cover the costs for the prayer books, security, food and rent. Our total costs are about €4500 this month. You will receive a link for this, or you can support our new community center here: www.charidyextra.com/bendigamos .
Thank you for your time, see you soon!
