High Holiday Activities at Congregation Kol Haverim

The Jewish New Year (“Rosh Hashanah”) and Yom Kippur are a time of new beginnings. At Kol Haverim, we celebrate these high holy days with a range of traditional and alternative services, outdoor experiences, music and meditation, family activities, and spiritual study sessions.

Kol Haverim will observe Erev Rosh Hashanah beginning Sunday, Sept. 13, at 5 pm. We’ll have two services on Monday, Sept. 14: An alternative morning worship from 8:30 am to 10 am, and a main service beginning at 10:45 am. As always, we’ll observe taschlich at the Rocky Hill Ferry at 4pm.

Yom Kippur worship begin Tuesday, Sept. 22, at 7:30 pm for Kol Nidre, with alternative and main services on Wednesday, Sept. 23 (times as above).

Leading up to and throughout the high holy days, Kol Haverim offers a range of opportunities to open your mind and soul for new beginnings, with musical service, outdoor experiences, yoga, and more.

Kol Haverim offers a full curriculum of Jewish religious school studies from elementary school through senior year of high school. Kol Haverim is also home to the Shirley Reaback Early Childhood Center, a developmentally based, five-day-a-week Jewish preschool program held in partnership with the Greater Hartford Jewish Community Center.
