5787 – 2026

We at Chabad of Berks join you in hope and prayer as together we approach the new Jewish year of 5787.

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.

Rabbi Mendy Lew, a well known Rabbi and Cantor, will be with us. He will lead the services with his beautiful, sweet voice.

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.

Wishing you a happy and sweet new year!

Everyone Welcome!
