Rosh Hashanah — The Jewish New Year Begins sunset September 11, 2026
Rosh Hashanah marks the beginning of the Jewish New Year and ushers in the High Holiday season — a sacred time of reflection, renewal, and return. We gather as a community to welcome the new year with prayer, the sounding of the shofar, and the timeless hope that the year ahead will be sweet.
Judaism embraces Rosh Hashanah as a moment for each of us to pause, take stock of our lives, and recommit to the values that matter most — justice, compassion, and connection.
Apples and honey are shared in celebration of a sweet new year.
Boulder offers numerous, multi-denominational High Holiday services for the community. Most require pre-registration and tickets, regardless of membership, for security purposes.
Yom Kippur — The Day of Atonement Begins sunset September 20, 2026
Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the Jewish year — a profound 25-hour fast and a day set apart for prayer, honest self-reflection, and the transformative work of teshuvah (repentance and return). It is a day to let go of what has weighed us down and step into the new year lighter, clearer, and renewed.
Our Yom Kippur services offer space for both solemnity and meaning, with music, communal prayer, and moments of quiet contemplation. All are welcome — wherever you are on your Jewish journey.
Yom Kippur concludes after nightfall on September 21 with the sounding of the shofar.
