Join us to celebrate the Jewish New Year.
All are welcome! Jewish Gateways High Holiday services are engaging, inclusive, and use both English and Hebrew. We meet outdoors beneath an open tent at the Jewish Community Center in Berkeley.
Services are led by Rabbi Bridget Wynne with warmth, creativity, and honest... and musician Joel Siegel with his love of enabling people to connect through music.
No tickets or membership are required.
The services are supported entirely by donations from individuals who attend.
We suggest a donation of $60 per adult for each day you'll join us, and a donation of $25 per family for each family service.
We know that some cannot give this amount, while others can give more. Please consider making as generous a gift as you can. All donations are tax deductible.
We also offer Yom Kippur services on the evening of Tuesday, October 8 and on Wednesday, October 9.
Learn more about what the services are like, and more about Jewish Gateways.
We look forward to welcoming you, your family, and your friends!
Family services and activities are presented in collaboration with Sprout and PJ Library.

FAQs
Do I have to bring a ticket to the event?
Registration is requested, but there are no tickets.
Is there reserved seating?
There is no reserved seating, so It's best to come early to park and be seated before the service begins.
What are my parking options?
Street parking is available, and unrestricted for evening services. Parking during the day is restricted to two hours, so for daytime parking we suggest that you download and print a parking pass that will enable you to park for a longer period. You will receive a link to the pass in your confirmation email after you register.
Can I update my registration information?
Yes.
