High Holidays

Journey into 5784 with the JCC East Bay and Jewish Studio Project! The High Holidays have the power to lift us out of our individual worlds, connect us deeply to one another and to something that connects us all. Join us for a high holiday season filled with connection, creativity, and renewal.

Rosh Hashanah 5784

A heart-opening, music-filled, uplifting way to start the new year.

Join the JCC East Bay and Jewish Studio Project for Rosh Hashanah Services (in-person and virtually)!
Our musical, liturgically-grounded, and justice-themed services will blend the familiar with the original to open your hearts and pave the path for a new year filled with intention and creativity.
