Jewish Holidays
Jewish holidays are times for celebration, family, friends, and opportunities to create meaningful experiences. Join us at the JCC in study and song as we prepare for the holidays of the year. Model dinners, holiday parties and festivals, timely courses and discussion groups are all designed to help you find new and interesting ways to bring Jewish living into your home.
Visit our "Traditions on Wheels" Holiday Cart in the JCC lobby for current information about the different Jewish holidays, family activities and community events.
Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur
The Jewish High Holidays, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, mark the beginning of the new year on the Jewish calendar. The message of the High Holidays is that true change is always possible, the power to make that change is in our hands, and the responsibility to realize it is ours. We invite anyone looking for a spiritual home during this High Holiday season to contact the synagogues listed below. Scholarships and complimentary tickets to services are available, as well as many High Holiday events for adults, children, and families. For more information about these programs, contact the JCC’s Center for Jewish Life and Learning at 408.357.7411 or pick up a copy of the 2011-2012 Guide to Jewish Silicon Valley, available at the JCC or at area synagogues beginning September 6th.
Shana Tova. Happy New Year.
