High Holy Day Services

The High Holy Days are a period of introspection, reflection, and renewal. During this time, we come together for worship, study, and sacred assembly.

While we require that everyone attending services at Temple Emanu-El have an admission card, all are welcome to attend. Admission cards are sent out to all synagogue members in the weeks before the High Holy Days. Individuals who are not members are welcome to join us and may receive an admission card by contacting the Temple Emanu-El office at (520) 327-4501. University students may use their student IDs in place of an admission card.

Childcare and youth programming are available, free of charge, for all Temple Emanu-El members during High Holy Day services, according to the schedule below. Please register by calling the Strauss ECE Office at (520) 325-0390. Reservations must be made by Friday, September 23.

Schedule

Selichot - Saturday, September 24, 2011

Havdallah, Film, Dessert, Study, & Services
8:00pm - Showing The Quarrel, a film about two survivors of the Holocaust, accidentally reunited in a park in Montreal in 1948, who take up their argument just where they left it nine years earlier. As they spend the day together, the two men alternately cling together to recall their common past, and lock horns in debate over their opposing views of God and the world.
11:00pm - Selichot Services with Rabbi Samuel M. Cohon, Rabbi Jason Holtz, Rabbi Baruch Cohon, Cantorial Solosit Marjorie Hochberg and the High Holy Day Choir. This beautiful service introduces the themes of the High Holy Days and calls upon worshipers to reflect and prepare for Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year and Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement.

Erev Rosh Hashanah - Wednesday, September 28, 2011
