In lieu of traditional Yom Kippur services this year, we are thrilled to be launching a brand new offering – The Art of Forgiveness: a Yom Kippur Immersive Studio Experience. Gather with us to explore the theme of forgiveness in core Jewish Studio Project fashion – a deeply creative and personal experience through hands-on art-making, text exploration and song.
This program will only be offered in-person at JCC East Bay. Space is limited!
JCC East Bay is located at 1414 Walnut St, Berkeley, CA 94709 and has an ADA accessible entrance.
Rosh Hashanah Services and the Yom Kippur Immersive Studio Experience will take place both indoors and outdoors. Masking is encouraged, though not required.
As in years past, seating is first come, first served. Reserved seating is available to those with accessibility needs. Please reach out to JCC East Bay’s Director of Community Engagement, Sarah Wolfman-Robichaud at sarahwr@jcceastbay.org.
Those who would like more time to find and get comfortable in their seats may request an early arrival or other accommodation by emailing Candace Goodwin, Jewish Studio Project’s Senior Public Programs Manager at cgoodwin@jewishstudioproject.org.
The High Holidays are a beautiful and meaningful time for our community, and the JCC East Bay has been honored to host a multitude of experiences over the years.
As we prepare to transition to our new Oakland campus, High Holiday services will not take place at the JCC East Bay. For those who have attended past services with Jewish Gateways, please join them again this year at their new home for the High Holidays.
