Don your finest to celebrate and reflect 5784 with friends you know and those you’ve yet to meet over a special erev Rosh Hashanah dinner for Young Professionals (ages 21-39). Register now!

Following the dinner, you are invited to join us for our Shir Chadash service, a lively, participatory experience to usher in the New Year.

Rosh Hashanah is both a joyous time and a period of serious religious reflection. One of the common customs of Rosh Hashanah is to eat apples dipped in honey and to wish others a “sweet” New Year. The preeminent symbol, however, is that of blowing the shofar — a “trumpet” generally made from the horn of a ram (because of its association to the binding of Isaac, the Torah portion read for Rosh Hashanah). The shofar also should be bent or curved in a shape to symbolize the bent and humbled spirit appropriate on Rosh Hashanah.
