High Holy Days 2023

Ohel Ayalah offers a free, walk-in service to meet the needs of any Jew or guest, in particular, Jews in their 20s or 30s, who do not have a place to pray on the High Holidays. Most synagogues require the purchase of a ticket to attend their High Holiday services. Ohel Ayalah does not. Ohel Ayalah believes the Jewish public should be able to worship at services that are free and open to all. Every Jew should be embraced. However, we respect the need of synagogues to charge fees to help defray the costs of their High Holiday services. three guys, HH12At Ohel Ayalah, it is possible for a Jew to wake up on Rosh Hashanah morning or Kol Nidrei night and say, “I feel like going to the synagogue today (or tonight) and being with other Jews.” The free, walk-in service at Ohel Ayalah means that Jews can join a celebration of the High Holidays without having to decide in advance. Every Jew should feel welcome in a synagogue on the High Holidays, whether or not they are a member, whether or not they made advance arrangements to attend, and whether or not they purchase a ticket. This is the mission of Ohel Ayalah.
