A shul is more than just a synagogue or temple. A shul (Yiddish for a place of prayer and study) is a home for any Jew looking for a warm and spiritual place to grow. At Chabad, everybody's welcome. Come when you can. Leave when you wish. Bring the whole gang or come alone, and treat your soul to something special. With a "come as you are" attitude you'll feel right at home, and with an English / Hebrew prayer book you will be able to express yourself in a language you understand.
No matter who you are, if you are looking for a place to express your soul on the High Holidays, this shul's for you.
All are welcome, and there is no charge to attend any services. Advance registration is requested. Feel free to meet us at one of the sponsorship levels on the registration page.
Kids are invited to attend the mid-service children’s program, and all will join together for the Shofar sounding.

This month's topic - a discussion about the fast of Tisha Be’Av
From Mourning to Morning
Between Misery and Bitterness, Despair and Progress
Thousands of years after she lies in ruins, the Jewish people still mourn their holy Temple. Hasn’t that window closed already? Can we really be so pained so many years later?
The Sages’ take on the proper method of grief turns this mourning into a propeller for growth, a look towards the joy of tomorrow.
Never before has there been such awareness about emotional health.
Yet, never before have so many people reported feeling unhappy, anxious or lonely. How do we attain emotional wellbeing?
Spurred by a personal quest, author Levi Y. Shmotkin spent 5 years studying the private counseling of America's most influential Jewish Sage - the Rebbe.
After sifting through thousands of letters and hundreds of interviews, Shmotkin felt that he found what he was searching for.
Join us for an enthralling evening with Levi as we explore Jewish wisdom's answers to this most personal of questions.
