WELCOME! These are challenging times and AJ’s High Holy Day Services will certainly look different this year.

All services this year will be held online and are free of charge. Specific information about how to log on to our services will be provided closer to the holidays.

ADULT WORSHIP SERVICES: This year, our Traditional Service and our Intergenerational Service will be combined together to create a new creative service.

Services will be led by Robert Slosberg, Cantor Lipp, and Rabbi Laura Metzger.

YOUTH/FAMILY SERVICES: AJ is thrilled to provide a high-energy worship experience designed for students, parents, and grandparents. Rick Recht, founder of Jewish Rock Radio, will be creating customized Family and Children’s Services with participation by Rabbi Slosberg and Cantor Lipp, and in conjunction with Shira Kline and Rabbi Josh Warshawsky. These services will be streamed at 10:00 a.m. each day. AJ members without children are welcome to join these services, or to use that interval as a break time. On Rosh Hashanah Day-1 and Yom Kippur, the Intergenerational Family Services will be geared to all ages. On Rosh Hashanah Day-2, a Children’s Service will be offered and geared to families with children ages 0 – 8. These services are designed to inspire families to kick off the New Year with renewed hope!

TASHLICH: Tashlich is a tradition where Jewish people proceed to a body of running water, and symbolically cast off their sins. Tashlich takes place following Rosh Hashanah Day-2 Services on Sunday, September 20, 2020. Closer to the holidays, AJ will provide a link to the Tashlich Service for members to observe on their own.
