There ís a High Holiday Service for You, Wherever You Are
With only a few days left before the Jewish New Year of Rosh Hashanah, many Jews still have no plans to attend synagogue services.
They might not be affiliated with a house of worship, they may feel uncomfortable in a traditional synagogue setting, they might be traveling, they might not even be able to afford the fees associated with ticket costs and membership dues at many synagogues. But whatever the reason, recent studies reveal that while Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur remain two of the most popular days to attend a synagogue, even for those who don’t attend services regularly, the sheer number of those not in attendance is staggering.
Rosh Hashanah begins this year the evening of Sept. 12 and ends at nightfall on Sept. 14. Judging by the responses to a service being offered by Chabad.org, many would-be worshippers are apparently feeling the pangs associated with being left out of next week’s celebrations.
With a single mouse-click, anyone can find free and welcoming, as well as local, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services, by logging on to the search engine located at chabad.org/HighHolidayServices.
