How Many Adults Are Attending?
SERVICE REGISTRATION
ROSH HASHANAH CHILDREN'S SERVICE
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3 at 9:30 a.m.
 
With music and chances to lead and interact with others, our Children's Service is designed to allow children to engage with the themes of renewal and reflection that are central to Rosh Hashanah – and of course, to hear the shofar blown!
ROSH HASHANAH MAIN SERVICE
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3 at 10:30 a.m.

Join us as Rabbi Jeremy, the Machar choir, and members of the congregation lead the community in reflection and renewal during Rosh Hashanah. This year's service will feature new music, new readings, and new ways to engage with one another in community as we ask ourselves: "Why are we here? Why am I here?"
ROSH HASHANAH LUNCH
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3 at 12:30 p.m.

After services end, join others in the Machar community as we share a post-Rosh Hashanah lunch, discuss where the coming year may take us, and just spend time getting to know one another.
KOL NIDRE SERVICE
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11 at 7:30 p.m. 

Join the Machar community as we start Yom Kippur together, hearing both traditional and modern version of Kol Nidre, and consider the import of our actions over the past year and how to make amends and move forward.
YOM KIPPUR CHILDREN'S SERVICE
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12 at 9:30 a.m.

Join us for our Yom Kippur childen's service. Using words, music and children's creativity, our Children's Service helps children to engage with the holiday's themes of apology and making amends in a secular way.
YOM KIPPUR MAIN SERVICE
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12 at 10:30 a.m.

Join the Machar community as we continue to consider the themes of this year's holidays. Using music, readings, talks and memory, we'll consider what it means to make amends as people and as a community, and remember those we have lost in our Nizkor ("let us remember") service.
