High Holy Days at Bet Am Shalom
Our services are open to the public — no one is turned away. We welcome all generations, religious backgrounds, interfaith families, empty nesters, singles, LGBTQ+, the scholarly and observant, and those new to Judaism.
When you come into our beautiful service, you will find a distinctive openness and spirituality, as we mark the traditional rituals of the Days of Awe. It’s an environment of inspiration, welcome, community, and song.
Tickets are not needed but Registration is required.
In-person participation, as well as virtual participation, are available to guests through registration. Please help defray the prohibitive cost of our tent with a generous donation.
