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.

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:
Increased Security Presence: Additional security personnel will be on-site throughout the High Holy Days to carefully monitor and safeguard our campus.
Bag/Vehicle Checks & Screenings: Security screenings will take place at the parking lot entrance and at our Main Entrance in Traurig Hall. Please allow extra time when arriving for bag and vehicle checks.
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.
