Jewish High Holiday Services Set for September in South Brunswick

In anticipation of the Jewish New Year, services in the township have been set to celebrate the High Holidays.

Chabad of South Brunswick will he recognizing its twelfth year of services for the growing organization.  

They will be "warm, friendly and traditional" according to Chabad's Executive Director, Rabbi Levi Azimov.  Organizers say that last year's services were a phenomenal success, with large crowds in attendance.

Unlike many congregations, membership is not required to join. All are welcome, free of charge, regardless of background or affiliation. In addition, a special children's program will accompany the adult Services.  

All prayers will combine the original Hebrew, as well as translated English. This, coupled with modern Jewish melodies, meaningful insights, humor and an easy to read prayer book translation will make this year’s High Holidays an enjoyable and meaningful experience.

"According to Tradition, at the New Year the Doors of Heaven are open; G-d accepts all prayers, from anyone," explains the Rabbi.  "The least we can do is open our doors as well, to the entire community."

Services will be held on Rosh Hashana - the Jewish New Year (Sept. 4, 5 and 6), as well as Yom Kippur - the Day of Atonement (Sept. 13 and 14).  

Rosh Hashana Services will be held at various times (as indicated below) at the Chabad Jewish Center, 1 Riva Avenue, North Brunswick, and Yom Kippur Services at the Hilton of East Brunswick.

Rosh Hashana services will be held at the Chabad Jewish Center at 1 Riva Avenue, and offered on Sept. 4, at 7 p.m., followed by the traditional "apple-in-honey-dipping" New Year tradition, a favorite of children.

• Sept. 13 Kol Nidrei service at 6:45 p.m.
