So Near ... shofar!

Yom Kippur with Living Judaism
and Congregation Ashreichem Yisrael

Wouldn't it be nice to be touched by the High Holidays; to come away inspired, or perhaps a little wiser?

Our services combine sweet holiday melodies and an array of thought-provoking classes taught by some of Seattle's top Jewish educators. Pray, probe the deeper meaning of the day, take a moment to reflect, and reconnect.

We welcome Jews of all affiliations, levels and backgrounds.

Yom Kippur Schedule:
Services in the main chapel will run concurrently with the classes.​ Pray, learn or both. Choose the combination that works for you.
