High Holy Days
Celebrate your High Holy Days 2024 with the Wimbledon Synagogue
With all the uncertainties that surround us these days, what remains constant is our ability to enter the High Holy Days on a path towards forgiveness, repentance, and renewal. The Days of Awe are a time to sincerely contemplate how we can mend our relationships and, in the process, mend our own souls while standing at the edge of our souls with the support of the lovely music, prayers, and poems of our ancient tradition. Let us join together this year with the intention of stepping through the gates to our soul as the joyful and affirming community we wish to be. We invite you to join us in the exciting, spiritually uplifting services for the High Holy Days and to welcome the year 5785 with us.
