2021 High Holiday Services
At this time, we are planning to gather in person (with a streaming option) for the following services: Rosh Hashanah Day 1, Kol Nidre, and Yom Kippur. In person services will be held in the auditorium at Ashland High School.
In order to effectively plan and support contact tracing should the need arise, we are asking that each household intending to participate in-person complete an online registration form. Please consider your plans and provide your information no later than Friday August 20.
