2022 High Holy Days:
Dear Friends,
We look forward to celebrating 5783 together and in-person. Details of our 2022 High Holy Day plans will be on this page later this summer.
2020 High Holy Day Favorite Moments from Members:
“We thoroughly enjoyed services.”

Word Cloud - from chats shared by our members and guests:
Always meaningful.
The High Holy Days are eternal, central to our faith, and beautiful markers on the path from one year to the next. The High Holy Day season is rooted in community practices and individual traditions.
COVID-19 impacted the High Holy Days in 2020 just as it’s changed everyday life. Different, however, didn't mean that the moments to stand in awe were less profound or the opportunities to come together any less inspirational.
The sections and links below show that our 2020 High Holy Days were just as thoughtful, joyful, and creative as what you’ve come to expect from Suburban Temple – Kol Ami.
