The leaves will soon begin to turn and we will wake from the sleep of summer to fall’s energy and potential and the Jewish start to the year. This is the season of intention and connection, the season to renew our spirits, reconnect to community and rediscover the holy.
These are the Days of Awe.
After two years of gathering for the High Holidays in different ways and places, we will be back in our spiritual home at 331 Verplanck Ave in Beacon. Everyone is welcome for this period of introspection and prayer, and we do not charge for High Holiday tickets, however the BHA sanctuary has limited seating and registration is mandatory for adults and children to attend any of our services.
Watch all the High Holiday services on the BHA YouTube Channel in the 2022 Days of Awe Playlist.
Events, Formal & Creative
We know that sometimes, people are looking to connect to the formal, classical, majesty of the holidays and other times, people are looking for a more informal and creative approach to spiritual work. Our services on Rosh Hashonah and Yom Kippor are generally in a more formal register, while our services for Tashlich and the Soul Strolls offer more creative experiences.
Children's programming will be offered during Rosh Hashonah Day I services and Yom Kippor services featuring creative projects and age appropriate learning.
Participation & Support
While there is no specific fee for participating in the Days of Awe at BHA, we invite you to contribute to the BHA Kol Nidrei Campaign so we can continue to be the home for vibrant Jewish life in the Hudson Valley.
We will have a Virtual Yizkor on display at BHA and on our website during Yom Kippor. If you'd like to offer a tribute to a loved one by adding them to our Virtual Yizkor, please visit our Virtual Yizkor Tribute form. Please submit by Friday, September 30th.
We will have a live-stream of the Days of Awe services on our BHA YouTube Channel for those who would rather not - or are unable to - attend services in person.
