Please note that all our programming for the Yamim Noraim will take place in our shared virtual space, except those events marked with this tree icon 🌳 which will be held outdoors.
Some details remain subject to city approval and good weather, of course. When and if adjustments are necessary, we will inform the community promptly.

🌳 Outdoor Services on 100th Street
We have applied for a city permit to close 100th Street for a series of brief, outdoor, masked and socially distanced services including Kol Nidre and Yizkor, before the holiday itself begins. (Whenever you participate, you need not begin the fast until 6:23 pm.) Assuming the city approves, we will meet for 30-minute services of up to 75 people. Ansche Chesed members are invited to request these limited spots HERE. Each member household is invited to request up to two places.
