High Holidays 5786/2025

KHSZ is thrilled to once again offer inspiring, participatory, traditional egalitarian Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services, led by Rabbi Julia Andelman along with community members Michael Firestone, Jasmine Hubara, Aaron Kasman, Daniel Paul, and Haley Schulman.

High Holidays planning is chaired by Ben Tischler.

Advance registration is required and we cannot accommodate walk-ins.

September 4: All KHSZ High Holidays services are at capacity and we are unlikely to be able to accommodate further wait-list requests. We recommend that you make other High Holidays arrangements for this year.

Your Contributions Support KHSZ

The goal of our 5786 membership campaign is to raise $300,000. We welcome your additional contributions, which are crucial to maintaining our financial stability, including paying for building operating expenses, salaries, and security and providing high-quality davening and programming year-round.

Babysitting & Kids Programming

KHSZ offers a staffed playroom, which is primarily intended as a designated play space for children under age 5. Parents and caregivers are responsible for changing diapers, supervising trips to the bathroom, and returning if a child is in need of more supervision.

More information about kids programming will be posted here and will also be listed in the detailed participant info email with finalized service times that all registered participants will receive in advance of services.

Please email kids@khsz.org with any questions or if you would like to help with kids’ programming.

Volunteering

KHSZ relies on volunteers to run its programs. During the registration process, you will have opportunities to sign up to volunteer for High Holidays (and for year-round services): we welcome your participation!
