High Holy Days 5783 – Sacred Space Is Everywhere
The High Holy Days are fast approaching and the CGOH team is busy dreaming, scheming, and planning. As we continue to navigate these times together, one thing we know for certain is that we can pray, cry, celebrate and connect no matter where we are. Together, we will create Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur experiences that are safe and meaningful ways to tap into the transformative power of the High Holy Days. Below you will find information on all our sacred spaces.
A Few Things to Know as We Look Ahead
To have the safest gatherings possible, we may be limiting the number of people at each service. You must bring your ticket for entry to Services (tickets will be mailed to members and guests). Contact the office for guest tickets at 518-374-8173 or click here. Please know if guests will attend Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, or both and have the name(s) of adults and mailing address(es) available.
Sacred Spaces Big and Small
- SANCTUARY: We hope to give each member the opportunity to pray in the Sanctuary. To stay safe, we will be limiting the number of people inside at one time. Please let us know that you would like to attend in-person.
- SISTERHOOD/HATKOFF ROOM AND ROOM 13: We will be having an immersive live-streaming experience in the Hatkoff Room and Room 13 for those who would like to be more socially distant or be in a quiet space.
Alternative Sacred Spaces
Interested in a smaller in-person service opportunity?
- HOME-HOSTED WATCH PARTIES: Gather with a handful of other members and friends in a backyard (maybe yours?) and stream the service together. We will assist you in gathering High Holiday Prayer Books for your group.
- STREAM FROM HOME: Sing your heart out, in your pj's, commute-free
-
FAMILY EXPERIENCE: Bring the whole family to find hope, healing, and joy at our High Holiday Family Experience— on Rosh Hashanah at 3:00 pm (followed by a community walk to a local Park for Tashlich) and on Yom Kippur at 2:00 pm. Sign-up is not required for this service.
