High Holidays with The City Congregation - Manhattan
Humanistic Jews see Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur as an affirmation of human power and human dignity. The High Holidays are a time to consider the possibilities for change, for improvement, for happiness that we can create ourselves. Acknowledging human courage and independence, we achieve human dignity.
Adapting the form of our meditations to the content of their message, we can create a truly humanistic celebration of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Our services feature a combination of familiar passages, innovative language, and inspiring music, which give evolving expression to our holiday themes. They provide a meaningful way for cultural Jews to mark these holidays. Members participate in reading the service along with our rabbi.
High Holiday Services are held at a downtown hotel in Manhattan. Guests are always welcome at our services.
