High Holiday's

5785 – 2024

We at Chabad of Berks join you in hope and prayer as together we approach the new Jewish year of 5785.
Together we'll listen to the call of the Shofar, taste the sweetness of the Apple-and-Honey, recommit to G‑d on Yom Kippur.

Join us this year to celebrate together in our synagogues, in our communities — and with your pre-holiday preparation online at the Chabad of Berks. Click here to reserve a seat. We welcome you free of charge.
