What are the Alternative Services on Rosh Hashanah, Kol Nidre & Yom Kippur Morning? Clergy, congregational choir, guitar and instrumentalists lead accessible music. The prayerbook provides gender-inclusive language and Hebrew transliteration, encouraging participants to join in singing and prayer. Designed for all ages, the informality provides a comfortable setting for families with young children and there are activities for the children during the sermon.
What are the Classical Services? Inspired by majestic music and Rodeph Shalom’s history, this service is led by our clergy, organist and professional choir, from Gates of Repentance.
