High Holy Days

Beth Sholom Temple is dedicated to providing a variety of ways to bring our community together spiritually to celebrate the Jewish New Year 5786. Despite how challenging the last few years have been, we are grateful to stay open for High Holy Days. As we continue to monitor the risks of COVID19 in the community, we are happy to offer services both in-person & virtually, via Zoom. At this time face masks are optional, but recommended, & we will continue to revisit our policy.

In order to provide a seamless experience on the day of each event & for security purposes, we request that you register for yourself & your family.

Questions?

Call (540)373-4834 or email office@bstva.org

Non-members are always welcome to join us for our High Holy Day services. For security reasons, we ask that you please register in advance.

At Beth Sholom, we do not require tickets for the High Holy Days. Instead, it is customary to support the congregation with a donation that helps cover the preparation, coordination, and execution of these sacred observances.

We highly suggest a donation of $250 per person for all non-member attendees. This contribution makes a real difference in sustaining our community during this meaningful season. That said, no one will ever be turned away for financial reasons. Your presence with us during the Days of Awe is what matters most.

Please note: this donation is not expected from students, active-duty military, or members of other congregations attending under reciprocal privileges.
