Each fall, the Jewish community celebrates the High Holy Days, beginning with the Jewish new year on Rosh Hashanah (September 25-27, 2022) and closing with Yom Kippur (October 4-5, 2022). These ten days, known as the Days of Awe, are a time for reflection and rebuilding of relationships. We recognize that this is a time for our Jewish students, staff and families to celebrate. We are enriched by your contributions to our school communities.
