About
our High Holiday Services
Rabbi Korngold's High Holiday services are best described as warm
and inclusive. Members from the community will be chanting from
the Torah and leading readings. There are ample opportunities for
anyone who wishes, to be involved in the service. We use the Reform
Movement's Gates of Repentance machzor, gender neutral edition.
Rabbi
Korngold is known for her relevant and thought-provoking sermons.
Her teachings are accessible to all levels of Jewish knowledge,
and are rich with stories that resonate with our daily lives.
 Zoe
Krakowsky, the Congregation's Cantorial Soloist, leads the services
with the Rabbi. Zoe has been leading the congregation with enthusiasm
and grace for years. Her singing style is very participatory.
