Shabbat
Shabbat is the most frequent, but also the most important of all Holy Days. Beginning at sunset every Friday evening and continuing until three stars appear in the sky on Saturday evening, we celebrate creation and freedom, with joyous eating, worship and study.

Rosh Hashanah
Each fall new moon, the Jewish New Year celebrates life, creation, and holiness and also ushers in a time of introspection, repentance, and return to a higher and holier life for the coming year.

Yom Kippur
On the tenth day of the fall month after Rosh Hashanah, the Day of Atonement is the most solemn of Jewish Holy Days, devoted to prayer, fasting, and repentance.

Sukkot
This fall harvest festival follows soon after Yom Kippur. For a week we dwell outdoors in simple, open-air booths or huts, celebrating nature’s abundance while remembering the fragility of life.

 Simchat Torah
With the end of Sukkot, we conclude the annual reading of the Torah. We celebrate with dancing with the Torah in our arms! The Torah is unrolled, end to end, and we read the end and the beginning in one breath to start all over again.

Chanukah
An eight-day holiday celebrating the lengthening of days after the winter equinox, change that can come through human struggle against tyranny, and the miraculous gifts received from God.

Tu BiShvat
On the fifteenth of the month of Shevat is the New Year for Trees. The Kabbalists created a Seder meal of various tree fruits and wine representing the mystical four worlds.

Purim
This is a festival of joyous celebration and turning everything on its head! We reveal what is hidden and hide what is ordinarily revealed. We read Megillah Esther and its story of human courage winning out over intolerance, hatred, and fear.

Passover
The Festival of Freedom! We remember, retell, and relive the Israelite people enslaved in Egypt and delivered by God out from oppression. It begins with Seder – a holiday celebration at the dinner table, not with a prayer book but with a Haggadah, or storybook.

Yom Ha-Shoah
Known as Holocaust Remembrance Day, to commemorate by lighting yellow candles to keep alive the memories of the victims, to gather together to mark the day through worship, music, and the stories from survivors.

Yom Ha’atzmaut
Marks the anniversary of the establishment of the modern State of Israel.

Yom Hazikaron
“Memorial Day for the Fallen Soldiers of Israel and Victims of Terrorism,” it was enacted into law in Israel in 1963.

Lag BaOmer
The Omer has both agricultural and spiritual significance: it marks both the spring cycle of planting and harvest, and the Israelites’ journey out of slavery in Egypt (Passover) and toward receiving the Torah at Mount Sinai (Shavuot).

Shavuot
50 days after the Exodus from Egypt we receive the Torah at Mt. Sinai. Shavuot celebrates the wisdom of Torah, our appreciation of our tradition and teachings.

Tisha B’Av
A day to remember many tragedies that have befallen the Jewish people throughout history, and to reflect on the suffering that still occurs in our world.
