Come As You Are.
No Experience Necessary.
Join Jewish Gateways for Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement, in a welcoming space for people of all backgrounds and levels of experience. Come to connect with Jewish tradition in ways that are personal, meaningful, and relevant to you.
Our Adult Yom Kippur programming includes morning services, opportunities for adult discussion and learning in the afternoon, and closing services as we move through this powerful day together. Register for Adult Services.
We also offer Family Services! Experience Yom Kippur together through music, stories, movement, and interactive prayer that invite children under nine and their families into the meaning of the day. After service, children are encouraged to participate in our special Holiday themed activities. Register for Family Service.
Services for All.
Our community includes wandering Jews, wondering Jews, Jew-ish, cultural Jews, Jews by choice, non-Jews, seekers, LGBTQIA+, interfaith families, people with disabilities and neurodivergent folks, people of all ages and stages, and those from diverse racial, cultural, and family backgrounds.
Services for adults and families are both in person and online. Whether you're in the Bay Area or across the country, we invite you to join us!
Jewish Gateways is an open community, which means all are welcome to attend our services. We rely on the generosity of our attendees to help make our High Holiday services possible and keep them financially accessible. You'll choose your donation amount when you register, and no one will be turned away for lack of funds.
