Join us for the Yamim Nora’im — the Days of Awe, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur; also known as the High Holidays — at Society Hill Synagogue.

The High Holiday experience at Society Hill Synagogue is one of depth, meaning and sacredness.

Held in our beautiful, historic Sanctuary, our services — like the rest of our synagogue experience — are grounded in tradition, flourishing with life.

Our liturgy for the service comes from Mahzor Lev Shalem, the Conservative movement’s Days of Awe prayer book, whose title literally means “whole heart,” symbolizing what we bring to the experience. This prayer book is filled with commentaries, explanations, translations, and transliterations for those seeking to probe its depths.

Similarly, our clergy aims to connect our community to the sacredness of the service. Through teachings, melodies, sermons, and reflections, our clergy holds space for the spirit of the High Holidays: T’shuvah — self-correction and return; T’filah — prayer and reflection; and Tz’dakah — righteousness and justice.

In addition, we hold services for families with children ages 7 and younger, services for families with children ages 8-12, and, new this year, alternative programming for teens. All of these services are age-appropriate in length, style, and substance, helping families and kids to get in touch with the spirit and carry out our sacred traditions. All are welcome.
