Once again, Shir Hadash Reconstructionist Synagogue will hold beautiful, inspiring, creative and musical High Holiday Services. This year, we will return to in person services. We will be at a new location; Atlantis Banquets in Arlington Heights. If you are not able or comfortable attending services in person, we are offering a Zoom option as well.
All appropriate Covid precautions will be observed. Our current plan is to require that masks be worn and social distancing procedures be followed at in-person services, for everyone's safety. Our Covid task-force continues to monitor the changing situation and we will adjust our plans as appropriate. If you are unwell, we ask that you use the Zoom link instead of attending in person.
Regarding Zoom, every guest will receive their own unique viewing code which cannot be shared outside of your household. Services will be simulcast via Zoom, so if you find you are unable to attend at the last moment, you will be able to view the services. If you have any questions, let us know.
Please see sidebar of exact times for each service. ⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒
As a Shir Hadash guest, you will receive your viewing code before the holidays. If you are attending in person at Atlantis Banquets, your badge (which serves as your ticket) will be waiting for you there.The ticket price is $180 per person, $150 for seniors.
Children's Program
We will offer children's programming virtually, on Zoom, for Erev Rosh Hashanah, Rosh Hashanah Day 1, Kol Nidre and Yom Kippur morning services. This program will be for children up to age 13. It will start after the general service, and end before the general service, so your children can Zoom in with you for the beginning and end of the general service, with their own program in between. If you are instead attending services in-person, your children are welcome to be with you during those services (subject to the same masking and social distancing requirements as all attendees). We will have a separate Zoom link for the children’s program, and more details about that program will be provided before the Holidays. If you would like to register your children for that program, please do so in the form below.

Shir Hadash uses the Reconstructionist High Holiday Mahzor. These books are available for purchase. If you need a book, please purchase below.
