Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Beit Am’s High Holiday services will be held online this year. Our plan is to offer the full schedule of our customary High Holiday programming over Zoom, along with resources for home rituals and learning throughout the month of Ellul preceding the holidays. Please watch for more information in the coming weeks. Questions and suggestions about creating a meaningful High Holiday experience this year are welcome, please contact Amy Young (amy.young.beitam@gmail.com) or Rabbi Phil (rabbi@beitam.org).

We are glad to assist with technology or explore other accommodations.
