High Holidays 5781

Ma'yan Tikvah's High Holiday services are always unique because they are primarily outdoors. This year, we are planning to maintain in-person outdoor components while keeping people safe from Covid-19 and insect-borne diseases. Outdoor experiences will be supplemented wtih Zoom services and programs.

Registration is now open and required for all services. When you click the appropriate registration link, you will see a list of all the options listed below and will be able to check those services and programs you wish to attend. Since we are limiting the size of in-person groups, please only check those you actually plan to attend.

Locations for in-person events will be announced closer to the holidays.

As know you understand that Ma'yan Tikvah's hight holiday plans are subject to change in these uncertain times. All those who are registered will be notified of any changes and the website will be updated.
