Join us for a family-friendly final Yom Kippur service, where we will imagine the symbolic ‘closing of the gates to heaven’ as we say goodbye to Yom Kippur. By the light of (electric) candles, we will sing tuneful, wordless melodies as the lights go low, and close out with hatikvah, the song of hope of our people.

Yom Kippur is a day of introspection and atoning for what we’ve done wrong and agreeing in community to do better in the year ahead. Services will be a mix of English inspiration and traditional Hebrew prayers, and will include a reading of the Torah and Haftorah, a Yizkor to remember loved ones who no longer walk with us on earth, the solemn Unetaneh Tokef and the Vidui as we contemplate the ways that we can do better in our individual and collective lives. Musical direction by Jerome Korman will help set the tone, while participants follow along with words projected on a large screen. No previous knowledge of Hebrew is required.

Join us for warm, welcoming, come-as-you-are services led by JCC Harlem Rabbi-In-Residence Mira Rivera and community leader and music educator Sara Sherman.

Experience the haunting strains of the Kol Nidre prayer, which invites us to enter in introspection.

Rosh Hashanah is a time of joy at the beginning of the new year as well as introspection, as we help one another become our best selves–in the community. Take a journey of the soul with us. Let the liturgy into the cracks. Uncover the wisdom held in the Torah where our matriarchs and patriarchs unravel and stumble through the mystery of life. Hear the sound of the shofar (the horn of a ram or other animal). Services will be followed by a community kiddush.

Join the JCC Harlem community for a meaningful and family-friendly tashlich service in Morningside Park by the 114th Street pond. Together, we will share in song and symbolically cast off the mistakes of the previous year by tossing pebbles into the water.
