High Holy Days 5784/2023

Welcome to the High Holy Days 5784/2023 at Wilshire Boulevard Temple. The New Year brings us together for services, study, and programs that inspire personal reflection and individual meaning. It was the High Holy Days that brought a small group of Jewish settlers together near today’s Olvera Street back in 1854, just three years after the City of Los Angeles was incorporated. For the next several years, they held services in a variety of locations, including the city’s single courtroom, and in 1862 they founded our congregation. From generation to generation, across time and geography, we return now to make t’shuvah - renewing ourselves and our people.

Tickets for 2023 High Holy Days are available.

Members in good standing will be e-mailed digital tickets. Each family member will receive one ticket that will be valid for all High Holy Day services. Additional tickets for individual services for members and non-members may be purchased here. While the Resnick Family Campus is being renovated, all services will take place at the Glazer Campus, except for the second day of Rosh Hashanah which will be on the Irmas campus. 

The High Holy Days at Wilshire Boulevard Temple are especially meaningful for members of every generation. In the weeks leading to Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot, there are many opportunities to learn more and enrich your experience. On each Holy Day and in our schools, there are age appropriate services and numerous opportunities for families to participate.
