High Holiday Services Open to All at City Hall

Help us make history as we usher in the Jewish New Year at Novato City Hall!

The Chabad Jewish Center of Novato is proud to announce its celebration of the Jewish New year. For the first time ever, Novato will be having its very own High Holiday services. Please join us, as we make history, by celebrating Rosh Hashana at our Novato . 

All are welcome, regardless of affiliation or background, free of charge. The service will be a combination of the original Hebrew and translated English. In addition, a special children's program will accompany the adult services. 

Our tradition teaches that at the New Year, the Doors to Heaven are open; G-D accepts all prayers, from anyone. The least we can do is open our doors as well, to the entire community. The services will be warm, friendly and traditional.
