Calendar

High Holy Days at Brotherhood are particularly special occasions.

The awe and splendor of the High Holy Days help us break out of our typical everyday routines so that we might both better appreciate the world for all that it is and also see ourselves again as all that we can be. When the High Holy Days arrive, the entire Brotherhood community joins together. Family and friends gather and reflect on the year and express hopes for the year to come. We look forward to celebrating meaningful and joyous High Holy Days with you and your loved ones at Brotherhood. We offer a variety of services: member services, family and children’s services, and community services where we open up our doors to those who are not part of the membership who wish to observe with us during these very special times of the year.

Shana Tova – a happy and healthy new year – to all!
