Let’s usher in a great new year together with this fun and festive outdoor Rosh Hashanah experience! Join us, along with our friends from Mesner Puppet Theater for fun and engaging activities and prayer, a Shofar and Tashlich service and more. Bring a picnic.  Get your sweet tooth fix for FREE with Go-Go Candy, Torched Goodness, and Frosty Treats. Mesner Puppets are made possible through the generosity of Michael Klein

Shofar in the Park is an all-ages event that will also incorporate our Rosh Hashanah Family Service/Puppet experience. Shofar in the Park is open to everyone in the community, regardless of affiliation. Be sure to invite friends with young children to experience High Holy Days with our B’nai Jehudah family.

• 4:00- 6:00 | Activities for All Ages: During these blocks of time we will have the opportunity to participate in activities that will allow us to reflect, play, and create using the themes of Rosh Hashanah as our guide.

• Dessert Trucks: Enjoy your own picnic and finish off with a delicious, free dessert from one of three dessert trucks!  

• Tashlich: This is a beautiful, family-friendly service during which we cast our “sins” into the water while singing and praying that we do better in the coming year. 

• 5:30 - 6:00 pm | Family Rosh Hashanah Service: We are delighted that our puppet friends from Mesner Puppet Theater will return for this special, all-ages Shofar Service. The Shofar service will feature our Rabbis, a great group of puppeteers, and a really fun story! Together we will sing, pray, and of course hear the booming sounds of the shofar. Our Shofar Service is designed for the youngest members of our congregation (ages birth-7) and their parents, but we welcome all who wish to attend.
