Holidays

Thank you for being a vital part of our community. Your presence and participation create a warm and joyous experience for us all.

Holidays begin at sundown on the evening before the date specified.

Dates in bold are yom tov, so they have similar obligations and restrictions to Shabbat in the sense that normal “work” is forbidden.
