High Holy Days
About High Holy Days with Kolot
High Holy Days at Kolot are joyful, spiritual and full of connection, with empowering and healing drashes and beautiful musical offerings, from clergy and community members alike.
All Hands Open Doors
We remain committed to keeping the Days of Awe open to all. Returning to a comfortable and accessible space, and ensuring that our virtual streaming is of the highest possible quality, requires us all to pitch in. A donation of any amount through the year will ensure that High Holy Days remain as joyful, spiritual, and full of connection as ever. It takes all hands to open Kolot’s doors so please give more if you can, less if you must.
5784 Videos and D’rashes
We are pleased to share the text of some of last year’s beautiful Erev Rosh HaShanah, Rosh HaShanah, Kol Nidre and Yom Kippur sermons from our clergy, staff and congregants. You can check out Kolot's YouTube channel for videos of last year’s Yom Kippur services.

Honor a Loved One with a Machzor Nameplate
We also offer a special way to honor those who have touched your life: a nameplate affixed in our beautiful High Holy Day prayer books (machzors), which were so generously gifted to us all by Bob and Glenn Usdin in honor of their parents and long-time Kolot members Martha and Marvin Usdin z’’l. By purchasing a nameplate you can memorialize the names of loved ones and express gratitude for the gifts their lives have brought, both past and present, and keep them connected to our sacred community.
Elul Community Art Offerings
Throughout the month of Elul, we invited Kolotniks to share daily artistic offerings on the listserv, to uplift one another and help us all to spiritually prepare for the 5784 High Holy Days. We were delighted to receive many beautiful offerings, from poems to reflections, to choreography, and have compiled them into a digital booklet for the community to savor throughout the year.
Kolot’s Digital Yizkor Book
We are honored to remember your loved ones through our digital Yizkor book, where we collectively name those we have lost, and hold their memories close during one of the holiest moments of the year.
Kolot's next chapter starts now–with you!
Make this the year you become a member and find your place in this vibrant, diverse and sacred community, our Kehila Kedosha, where all hands are needed. Our Fair Share Dues policy reflects, honors, and supports the economic diversity of our community.
