So near... shofar!

High Holidays with LivingJudaism
and Congregation Ashreichem Yisrael. 

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

Our services combine sweet holiday melodies, the sound of the shofar, 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.

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