Rosh HaShanah

We welcome the New Year with joyful and inspiring services for every age and stage of life.

At our foundation are Intergenerational services with moving sermons from our rabbis and the beautiful, harmonious voices of our cantors and festival choir, and our outdoor musical Erev Rosh HaShanah service is fun and festive for every generation.

We also offer services for people at a similar life stage – young professionals, families with preschoolers, and families with school-age children – to enjoy together. Whichever service you choose, be sure to join us for our annual Community Oneg on Rosh HaShanah day.

With a nosh of challah, apples, and honey, you’ll find congregants happy to greet you and discover all that’s coming to WHC in the fall.
