High Holy Day Volunteer Opportunities

It’s that time of year when Jews, together with loved ones and friends, come together to celebrate the New Year, reflect on all the blessings in their lives and make commitments for the future. You can add something extra to your High Holy Days this year by volunteering to help out at one or more of our services. You’ll feel good and we will be very grateful.
