High Holidays<\/h1>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.0.6″ hover_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

The High Holidays \u2013 Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur \u2013 are a time for reflection, renewal, and new beginnings. Our High Holiday services, held annually in Morris County, NJ, are a time for us to gather as a community and also welcome new members and families for the new year. Services are included in the membership fee for current members, and we welcome prospective members for a small donation.<\/p>\n

Kahal Chaverim celebrates the High Holidays in ways consistent with our humanistic philosophy and our Jewish cultural heritage. We offer creative, meaningful, non-theistic High Holiday services that are relevant to our contemporary lives and thought. We find special meaning in these high holidays and enjoy sharing this important time with family, friends and community. <\/p>\n

Rosh Hashanah<\/h2>\n

Unlike traditional congregations, our primary Rosh Hashanah service is on \u201cErev\u201d Rosh Hashanah, the evening before the first day of Rosh Hashanah.\u00a0We gather for a celebratory service that includes the traditional blowing of the shofar, followed by a pot-luck sharing of dessert \u2013 a sweet way to start the new year.\u00a0During the day on Rosh Hashanah, we gather for a short service and adult discussion, while the children engage in a children\u2019s service\/activity.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.0.6″ hover_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

Yom Kippur<\/h3>\n

Yom Kippur is a time for Jews to remember and ask forgiveness, and the Kahal Chaverim Yom Kippur services help us to celebrate in a meaningful, thought-provoking way that is consistent with our Humanistic beliefs. Our Erev Yom Kippur service, Kol Nidre, is held the evening before the day of Yom Kippur and features the melodic and traditional Kol Nidre music.<\/p>\n

Our Yom Kippur day service is a moving and reflective memorial service, and included in our service is a memorial we call Nizkor, \u201cLet us Remember.\u201d Although our service is largely in English, we also include the traditional Mourners Kaddish in Hebrew. After the Yom Kippur Memorial Service, we join in a \u201cBreak-the-Fast\u201d, a meal where all members of the congregation bring a dish to share. Our Break-the-Fast is a holiday tradition for us and one that we all enjoy.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”3.26.3″][et_pb_sidebar _builder_version=”3.26.3″][\/et_pb_sidebar][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.27.4″ text_font=”Roboto|300|||||||” text_text_color=”#ffffff” text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”1.8em” header_font=”||||||||” header_text_color=”#ffffff” header_2_font=”Anton||||||||” header_2_text_color=”#ffffff” header_2_font_size=”20px” header_2_line_height=”1.3em” background_color=”#e09900″ text_orientation=”center” min_height=”169px” custom_margin=”25px||0px|-18px||” custom_padding=”40px|33px|40px|33px|true|true” link_option_url=”https:\/\/kahalchaverim.org\/370-2\/” header_2_font_size_tablet=”35px” header_2_font_size_phone=”25px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” border_color_all=”#00aaff” border_color_top=”#F79305″ box_shadow_style=”preset1″ box_shadow_blur=”100px” box_shadow_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.1)” text_text_align=”center” locked=”off” max_width__hover=”100%” max_width__hover_enabled=”100%”]<\/p>\n
