We will combine the grandeur and majesty of the Early Service, with the warmth and intimacy of the Late Service.

Join together in one service which will be a hybrid of styles that our community has come to know and love.

Tashlich Moment

Pikuach nefesh, preservation of life, is the highest mitzvah. In order to keep everyone safe, we are asking that you observe Tashlich in safe, family pods and refrain from large gatherings. Please do not congregate at Baker Beach on Rosh HaShanah Day. We offer you this Soundcloud Tashlich service for you to use anytime during the 10 Days of Awe, at any body of water.
