High Holiday Services at First Hebrew
Our High Holiday services are a mix of the traditional and the innovative, which are always eagerly anticipated by our members. As with all our services, they are completely egalitarian.
Highlights of the High Holiday season include Taschlich (click here for the service), the casting away of one’s sins into a body of water. We traditionally have services on Erev Rosh Hashanah, then the morning services for both the first and second day. We will conclude Yom Kippur at Ne’ilah with the tradition of allowing our congregation to pass before the open Ark for a few moments of contemplation. The fall holidays conclude with the joyous festivals of Sukkot and Simchat Torah. Sisterhood prepares the annual Book of Remembrance which is used for Yizkor at Yom Kippur and throughout the year.
We typically use a “hybrid-model” of services. This allows us to have services both in person and via live stream. Tickets may be available to non-members by contacting the office at 914-739-0500 or via email at FHC@firsthebrew.org
