Full-Length Beginners Services
Good news! This Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, approximately 2 million American Jews will attend High Holiday Services. Unfortunately, many more will not… Why?
- They do not understand the prayers
- Although highly educated and sophisticated they feel inadequate and illiterate in a synagogue setting
- The sermons do not speak to them
- The rituals make you feel awkward
- Frequently, they leave the synagogue feeling more guilty than before they came – so, it’s no wonder why they rarely come in, let alone come back!!
With this in mind, the National Jewish Outreach Program has designed a special “High Holiday Beginners Service” .
This exciting service for novice worshipers has been test-marketed in synagogues throughout the country. Sponsoring congregations have attracted as many as 600 attendees and as few as 20, but all have met with resounding success. Some participants come with their families, others with their friends…still others come alone. They come because they know their questions are welcome. They come because they sincerely want to understand and to participate. And since everyone attending is there to learn, no one feels inadequate or intimidated. And many keep coming back. We hope you will be one of the many participants in our High Holiday Beginners Service this year.
