Each year, our cup–and our space–overflow with the power of our community as we come together to celebrate High Holy Days. To accommodate as many people as possible, we will hold two concurrent services on the first day of Rosh Hashanah, Kol Nidre and the morning of Yom Kippur, one inside and one outside. Our clergy will be speaking and teaching in both locations, and all sermons will be shared in both locations. All IKAR members are welcome to choose the service that best suits your needs– indoor or outdoor. You may even choose to move back and forth between the two if you’d like to experience the spirit of both. Guests and visitors are welcome to join us inside on Erev Rosh Hashanah and Rosh Hashanah II, and in our outdoor service on Rosh Hashanah I, Kol Nidre, and Yom Kippur morning. The whole community will be together outside on Yom Kippur for the afternoon service and Neilah.
