SCHEDULE
What’s New for 2023/5784:
FRI, SEP 15, 6:00 PM (In-Person & Online)
New this year, there will be one Congregational Erev Rosh Hashanah Service with open seating in our beautiful Main Sanctuary. Just as we will gather as one community for Havdalah on West 83rd Street to conclude our High Holy Day observances, this year we will mark the beginning of our most sacred days the same way – in one sacred space, renewing together as one.
FRI, SEP 15, 7:00 PM (In-Person)
We are excited to be offering a new community service this year for those who are in their 20s and 30s. We hope you (or someone you love) will join us on Erev Rosh Hashanah for a musical, inspiring service led by Rabbi Deborah Goldberg and Cantor Stefano Iacono. Services will be followed by a dessert oneg. Members* are eligible for complimentary tickets. Non-member tickets are $36.
REGISTER NOW – Members who need the promo code for free tickets should refer to their emails or email crs@crsnyc.org.
*Children of members who are under age 26 are included in their parents’ membership. If you have any questions, email membership@crsnyc.org.
SAT, SEP 9 / 7:15 PM – Dessert & Havdalah (In-Person) / 8:00 PM – Candlelight Service (In-Person & Online)
Join us for an immersive evening as we enter the High Holy Day season. Experience music, meditation, learning, and prayer surrounded by candlelight following Havdalah and a dessert reception on the 6th Floor Terrace.
