UPCOMING NEWS AND EVENTS
Simchat Yisrael Rosh Hashanah & Yom Kippur High Holiday Services
Simchat Yisrael Sukkot & Simchat Torah Service Date
We invite you to join Simchat Yisrael to experience the richness of the High Holidays through a Messianic lens.
Rosh Hashanah (Monday evening, September 22nd & Tuesday, September 23rd) Begin the year with hope. Join us as we welcome 5786 with the stirring sound of the shofar and sweet tastes of apples and honey, and prayers that open the heart.
Yom Kippur (Wednesday evening, October 1st & Thursday, October 2nd): Enter the holiest day of the year with humility and grace. Through fasting, prayer, and introspection, we seek forgiveness and renewal — not just from God, but from each other.
Sukkot (Simchat events: Sunday, October 5th to Sunday, October 12th): Celebrate joy and gratitude under the open sky. Join us in the Sukkah to share meals, stories, and fellowship.
Simchat Torah (Tuesday, October 14th): As the cycle of Torah reading comes to a close and begins anew, we gather not just to read the words — but to celebrate and rejoice with them.
There are no tickets or memberships required and seating is free. Simchat Yisrael would like you to consider making a donation in lieu of tickets. Thank You.
Join us on Tuesdays from 7:00 - 8:00pm via Zoom so we can gather together in intercessory prayer.
