Looking forward to the annual reunion of our synagogue community, we welcome you to our High Holy Day celebrations for 2017, beginning the Jewish year 5778.
At Chizuk Amuno Congregation we provide a variety of settings for observing Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur.

Anticipating a meaningful season, we look forward to a New Year of goodness and peace!
L’Shanah Tovah!
