Holidays
Holidays are marked with worship and celebration, bringing together our Temple Beth El family.

Rosh HaShanah (literally, “Head of the Year”) is the Jewish New Year, which marks the beginning of a 10-day period of prayer, self-examination and repentance.
Yom Kippur
Yom Kippur, considered the holiest day on the Jewish calendar, means “Day of Atonement” and refers to the annual Jewish observance of fasting, prayer and repentance.

Purim
Purim is celebrated by reading the Scroll of Esther (M’gillat Esther), and with a fun and festive Purim Spiel.
