Seat Reservations

OUR STYLE
Our services are open to all Jews, regardless of background or affiliation. Our style is friendly and welcoming. We seek to make all our attendees as comfortable as possible. The services are traditional, conducted with the beginner in mind. No experience needed. Many of our people don't understand or read Hebrew. Therefore, our Machzor (the holiday prayer book) has a translation for the entire prayer so you can follow along (with the same page number) throughout the prayer. Additionally, some of the prayers are read in English and a running commentary by the Rabbi accompanies the entire service, including stories, inspirational thoughts, insights to the meaning of the prayers and more. The service includes much festive as well as meditative singing. We make efforts to pick the well known melodies.

COST AND RESERVATION
There is no charge or membership fee to attend the services nor do you need to RSVP in advance (except for first night dinner at the Hotel). However, we would be thankful if you can sponsor a prayer book for $30 each. You can do so here or just stop by the Jewish Center.

GUIDANCE
If you want to be more prepared and know what to expect, we will be more than happy to privately introduce you to the prayer book (the Machzor) at your convenience!

If sitting in Synagogue for 3 hours is not an option for you, we recommend a 90-minute window that will include a short service, the Torah reading, the Rabbi’s sermon and the Shofar blowing. If you are uncomfortable with the Synagogue setting and are looking to do something light and additional, try the Tashlich service which is a 15 minutes service done outdoors at riverside. More details at the Tashlich section below.

We are trying to match the needs of each and every individual. Please contact us with any of your concerns.
 
 
Kids Program

Led by our experienced and energetic preschool teacher, we will provide fun and educational programs for your children while you attend services. Please contact us in advance.

Kids Program is from 11:00 - 1:00pm
 
Tashlich

In the late afternoon of Rosh Hashana, the entire community joins together in a proud processional for the observance of "Tashlich". Representing the themes of renewal and rejuvenation, this tradition also has a way of demonstrating a spirit of communal solidarity as young and old march and sing together while en route to perform a fascinating mitzvah.

Tashlich will takes place at 5:30 pm on Monday, October 3rd at river front in Himawari Hotel. We will then go back to Chabad for Candle lighting, service and festive meal.

Sunday, October 2nd, 5:45 pm at Himawari hotel
