High Holy Day Happenings

The High Holy Days begin on Sunday, September 29 with Erev Rosh Hashanah. At press time information for High Holy Day services was available for some Orange County synagogues. We will update the listings before the end of September to include Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot and Simchat Torah services. Meanwhile, here are other events for the month of September, including S’lichot services to get people in the mood for the High Holy Days. Several other programs are taking place in September too.
