Congregation Adath Israel welcomes you to celebrate the Jewish High Holy Day season together! The synagogue is located at 8 Broad Street.
The High Holy Days begin with the two day holiday of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. Evening services will be held on September 28th at 6:00pm and on September 29th at 5:30pm. Morning services on September 29th and 30th will begin at 8:30am. Rabbi Seth Haaz and Cantor Rebecca Axelrod will lead the prayers and offer inspiration to deepen our faith and prepare for a year of blessing.
After services and brunch on the first day of Rosh Hashanah, worshippers will walk a few blocks to the Connecticut River to sing, dance, and observe Tashlikh. Tashlikh, or casting away, is a ceremony in which one decides which aspects of his or her past year are cast away and which to nourish.

Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, begins promptly at 6:06pm on Friday, October 7th with the enchanting melodies of the Kol Nidrei service. You are invited to join us at 5:45pm for a musical introduction. Yom Kippur is the day in which Jews repair and rebuild their relationship with God and with others in their family and community. Yizkor, a memorial service for loved ones who have passed away, will be recited during the morning service on Saturday, October 8th at approximately 12:30pm. The afternoon service follows at 5:15pm, and we will conclude Yom Kippur at 7:30pm.
Adath Israel is proud to announce that this is the 11th year of the holiday food drive that supports the Amazing Grace Food Pantry. Throughout this High Holy Day season, please contribute non-perishable food and pet items to the collection just outside the synagogue office.
