Chabad of the Central Valley | Chabad Fresno invites you to join us for our High Holiday Services. Among
Chabad’s core motifs is that services are not just about prayers and rituals, but more so about celebrating Judaism as a dynamic and enriching community experience; an experience shared joyfully and harmoniously by Jews of all backgrounds and walks of life.
Indeed,
AhavatYisroel – the unconditional love and acceptance of a fellow Jew – is a driving force behind all of
Chabad's programs. Our “no membership policy” means that everyone is welcome to participate in whatever services, classes or programs appeal to them. Our doors and our hearts are always open. If this makes for a warm and inviting atmosphere all year round, it does so all the more during the Days of Awe.
Whether you’ve joined with us in the past or this will be your first such experience, be prepared to usher in the Year 5785 in a spirit of joy and solidarity that is the hallmark of High Holidays with
Chabad Fresno. As the month of
Tishrei and the New Year rapidly approaches, we take this opportunity to wish you and your loved ones a Shana
Tovah! We celebrate this month of reflection, introspection, and happiness through the varying holidays of Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot and
Simchat Torah.
Enjoy the High Holidays among friends and community! Services will be interspersed with explanations and page guidance. In short, Chabad is your home! Wishing you and yours a very happy and sweet new year! Welcome home!
L'Shana Tova! Rabbi Levy & Chanie Zirkind

What Are the High Holidays?
The two-day holiday of Rosh Hashanah is the head of the Jewish year, the time when G‑d reinvests Himself in creation as we crown Him king of the universe through prayer, shofar blasts, and celebration. A week later, the High Holidays reach their crescendo with Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement). Like angels, we neither eat nor drink for 25 hours. Dressed in white, we pray in the synagogue—united as one people, children of One Father.
