The High Holy Days
A time to reflect, reconnect and begin the new Jewish year together.
If the year is a train, the High Holidays are its engine. They are a unique blend of joy and solemnity, celebration and reflection, prayer and inspiration — setting the spiritual direction for the Jewish year ahead.
Rosh Hashanah
Rosh Hashanah marks the beginning of the Jewish year. It is the time when we crown G‑d as King of the universe through prayer, celebration and, most importantly, hearing the sound of the Shofar.
Friday evening, 11th September 2026
through Sunday night, the 13th September
Yom Kippur
Ten days later comes Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement and the holiest day of the Jewish year. For 25 hours we refrain from eating and drinking and gather together in prayer, reflection and renewal — united as one people before G‑d.
Sunday evening, 20 September
through Monday night, 21 September 2026
And the celebrations continue…
The Jewish holiday season does not end with Yom Kippur. The inspiration of the High Holidays flows straight into the joy of Sukkot and Simchat Torah, bringing this special season to its happiest and most uplifting conclusion.
