A shul is more than just a synagogue or temple. A shul (Yiddish for a place of prayer and study) is a home for any Jew looking for a warm and spiritual place to grow. At Chabad, everybody's welcome. Come when you can. Leave when you wish. Bring the whole gang or come alone, and treat your soul to something special. With a "come as you are" attitude you'll feel right at home, and with an English / Hebrew prayer book you will be able to express yourself in a language you understand.
No matter who you are, if you are looking for a place to express your soul on the High Holidays, this shul 's for you.
All are welcome, and there is no charge to attend any services . Advance registration is requested.
Please reach out with any questions. Looking forward to greeting you and praying together.
It would be an honor to have you partner with us in the upcoming holiday season.
