High Holy Days at Temple Sinai

High holy days 2025

As we gather to observe the High Holy Days (HHD), we welcome you to a season of reflection, renewal, and connection. This sacred time invites us to pause, look inward, and embrace the opportunity for spiritual growth and transformation. Whether you are joining us in person or online, we are grateful to share these meaningful moments with you.

These sacred days, beginning with Rosh HaShanah on Monday evening, September 22, and culminating in Yom Kippur on Thursday evening, October 2, offer a unique opportunity for spiritual growth and communal connection. Temple Sinai members are invited to join in a series of services, each designed to inspire and uplift as we enter the Jewish New Year together.

We have designed a vibrant array of services and events to engage our community and support our observance. Please click here for the full schedule of High Holy Day services, including information for Sukkot and Simchat Torah.

ANNOUNCEMENTS & OPPORTUNITIES

Book of Remembrance

As we approach the High Holy Days, Temple Sinai honors the memory of our loved ones, who remain the foundation of our rituals, traditions, and identities. Through our Yizkor Service and the Book of Remembrance, we keep their legacies alive. The Book of Remembrance, distributed on Yom Kippur, offers a meaningful way to memorialize those we've lost through an act of tzedakah, supporting our Temple.

Members have been mailed a form to participate, which should be returned to the office. 

Yizkor Montage

It is traditional to remember those who are no longer with us during the Yizkor Service on Yom Kippur afternoon. During the silent remembrance portion of this ritual, we will play a montage with photos of loved ones who have passed. If you would like your loved one(s) to be featured in this slideshow, please email Rabbi Baden at rabbibaden@templesinailv.org a photo (jpeg or png format), along with the loved one’s name and relationship to you. 

Submission deadline to share the photo and information with Rabbi Baden is noon on Monday, September 22.
