High Holiday and Sukkot Service Times and Events The High Holidays are a time for reflection, prayer, wishing friends a Shana Tova, and the start to a brand new year filled with possibilities. Whether you are a regular service davener, a person who comes twice a year, or someone who has not been to services in several years, please join the Temple Shalom family for the start of a Shana Tovah Um'tukah; a happy and healthy New Year. This year in addition to the standard services we have several new programs: Workshops to help prepare for the High Holidays, Family services, a falafel dinner, and a Simchat Torah celebration for all ages.
