Throughout the year, we gather to celebrate and learn together. Watch this page for updates to our annual events!
Purim
Purim is a joyous holiday that affirms and celebrates Jewish survival and continuity throughout history. Purim is celebrated on the 14th day of the Hebrew month of Adar and generally falls in late February or March on the Western Calendar.
Passover
During Passover, we retell the story of Exodus and connect with our Temple friends and family. Join us to listen to stories and songs and to share a traditional Seder meal! Passover begins on the 15th day of the month of Nisan, which typically falls in March or April of the Western calendar.
High Holy Days
Our High Holy Day festivities include: 
Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, on September 11-12, 2026 (one full day observed at Temple).
Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, on September 21-22, 2026.

Chanukah
Each year in December, we welcome winter and celebrate Chanukah, the Festival of Lights. This well-known Jewish holiday spans eight days and commemorates the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem.
