The High Holy Day season is a sacred time of reflection and renewal. At the Center for Jewish Life, these days carry even deeper meaning as we gather not only to pray, but to draw strength from one another. In a world that often feels heavy with challenge, our community stands as a source of light—uplifting, resilient, and rooted in faith. Together, we create a space where hope is rekindled, where tradition and song connect us across generations, and where compassion and courage guide us forward.
As we enter this season of teshuvah (return), may the bonds we share inspire us to live with purpose, and may our collective light continue to shine brightly in the year ahead.
Here’s your guide to this year’s High Holy Day schedule.
Can’t make it in person? Don’t worry—we’ll bring the service to you! Grab a virtual ticket and join us from anywhere.
Join us as we gather in community to welcome the New Year with a festive Rosh Hashanah Dinner, filled with tradition, joy, and delicious food. Then, come together again for our meaningful Break the Fast, as we close Yom Kippur surrounded by friends and community.
We can’t wait to share these special holiday moments with you—your seat at the table is waiting.

At the Center for Jewish Life at Beth David, we hold the memory of our loved ones close, honoring them not only during the High Holy Days, but throughout the entire year. Our Book of Remembrance is a sacred tradition, offering families the opportunity to include the names of those who continue to inspire and guide us.
This book is shared during the High Holy Day services as a collective tribute to their legacy. In addition, we honor loved ones year-round through our Yahrzeit page, where their memory continues to be recognized on the anniversary of their passing. We invite you to participate in this year’s Book of Remembrance and ensure your loved ones are remembered with dignity, love, and community. Each year, we come together as a community to honor the memory of those who have touched our lives and left a lasting impact.
Our Book of Remembrance is a sacred tradition, offering a meaningful way to keep their legacy alive while supporting the spiritual life of our community. By including the names of your loved ones, you create a timeless tribute that will be shared during the High Holy Days and cherished by generations to come.
Your safety and peace of mind are our highest priorities as we come together for the High Holy Days. To ensure a secure and meaningful experience for everyone, we will have the following measures in place:

Entrance Policy: Admission will be limited to those with confirmed reservations or tickets. Please have your tickets, government-issued ID, Center ID card, and any required documents ready at check-in.
We appreciate your cooperation in helping us maintain a safe environment for all. With these measures in place, we look forward to welcoming you and sharing in the joy, reflection, and community of these meaningful High Holy Days together.
