Dear Friends,
Shanah Tova!
With the weather changing and the school year approaching, it’s time to prepare for the High Holidays! We are excited to celebrate, pray and sing with you. As in past years, we will be offering prayer and contemplative opportunities for congregants of all ages.
The complete schedule of all our services, from Selichot all the way through to Simchat Torah, can be found here. We are very much looking forward to being together to experience the joy of the holiday as a community.
There are three options for participating this year. You can join us in the sanctuary. We will also have an open sided tent set up for those who would like to participate outdoors. Finally, livestream links will be available to PJC members who would prefer to participate from home.
Everyone over 5 years of age who is eligible to be vaccinated, must be fully vaccinated to attend services in person. Masks are optional. We will have some KN95 masks available. Of course, please attend in a way that best reflects your individual needs and comfort level. (Please click here to review our Covid policy.)
