Welcome to the High Holy Days

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.

Remembering Our Loved Ones

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.
