Holidays

There are lots of Jewish holidays throughout the year; yay!

From the High Holy Days - Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur where we celebrate the new year and make amends for our wrongdoings - to many others where we light candles, sing songs, make and enjoy lots of traditional foods while recounting our hardships and celebrating our continuation as a Jewish people, religion, and culture. 

Whether you host Jewish holidays at your home each year, or whether you're celebrating these holidays for the first time ever, we've created "how to" holiday guides for you to enjoy and share. It's never too late to incorporate something new, and it's never too early to begin your Jewish traditions!

Chag Sameach! 

If there aren't events showing below, we haven't yet planned this holiday's programming. Please check back soon!
