High Holy Days 2023

*** Scroll down for High Holy Day Services Schedule ***

Come share the spirit & wisdom of Rosh Hashanah
and Yom Kippur with Ad Olam.
These holy-days are a time of prayer,
music, reflection and learning,
a time of return and healing.
Join us in our intention to realign our connection
to our-self and to one another.

The services are Renewal, and inclusive, 
yet draw from traditional and mystical and contemporary sources.
We invite new interpretations, spontaneous expressions,
and powerful music to awaken the deeper truths
and the will to carry them into our actions in the new year.

Ad Olam High Holy Days are uplifting, life-affirming, transformative,
With a balance of music, prayer, and intention.
Our effort is to make everything accessible with minimal background or Hebrew,
Yet to respect the ancient forms.
We endeavor to create a meaningful experience for all whatever you background. 

All are welcome to come to any or all of the services.
All are invited to participate and learn. 

No one will be turned away for lack of funds.

Please donate 

Suggested Donation $30 and up per service
