High Holidays 5782 / 2021

Ma'yan Tikvah's High Holiday services are always unique because they are primarily outdoors. This year, we are creating varied opportunities based on our experiences last year.

Registration will soon be open and required for all services. When you click the appropriate registration link, you will see a list of all the options and will be able to check those events you wish to attend.

We are limiting the size of groups for the walks, so you will be asked to provide your first and second choice of times.

Because everything is outdoors, Ma'yan Tikvah's High Holiday plans are subject to change due to weather. You will be informed of our contingency plans upon registration, and will be notified of any changes.
