HOLIDAY CELEBRATIONS
At Folkshul, we interpret Jewish holiday celebrations through a Secular Humanistic lens. We believe that humans are responsible for each other and our planet. Our intergenerational holiday celebrations combine Jewish traditions with current events and secular music. Instead of worshipping, we reflect on the lessons of the holidays and how they inform our commitment to Tikkun Olam—repairing the world.
As a community, we celebrate Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Chanukah, Tu B'shevat, Purim and Passover. We also perform acts of service to mark the secular holidays of Thanksgiving and Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
High Holidays observances are open to the public and do not require a ticket or membership.
Observe the High Holidays with Folkshul
All ages are welcome to attend our secular High Holiday observances. Join us to welcome the new year! Share readings and music, hear the sound of the shofar, and reflect through a social justice lens to stir us to action in the year ahead. Our adult observances and educational children's program run simultaneously.
Our High Holiday programs are free and open to the community. For more information, email folkshul@folkshul.org.
