Congregation Zera Avraham does not sell tickets for High Holiday Services. All are welcome to come and experience the beauty of the holidays with us. All services are held at the synagogue, unless otherwise noted, and start promptly at the listed times.
For Visiting Family and Newcomers...
As in most synagogues, attire at High Holiday services reflect our desire to honor the sanctity of the holidays, HaShem, and Torah. Men wear sport coats or suits, and ties. Women wear dresses, skirts, or dress slacks.
We expect all men to wear kippot (head coverings) during services. This practice is optional for women. Kippot are provided at the facility but you may bring your own if you like.
Jewish men and women may also wear a tallit (prayer shawl). We ask that guests who are not Jewish refrain from wearing a tallit as this ritual garment symbolizes Israel's unique relationship with God.
If you arrive 15 minutes early, one of our members will orient you to our liturgy. We welcome you to our services and hope that you will enjoy your time with us!
​
If you are unable to attend in person and would like to join us online, our services will be live streamed on Zoom via the same link as for our Saturday morning, Shabbat Shacharit services. Our machzorim, prayer books, for the high holiday services are available below via Amazon.
​
The CZA Machzor for Rosh Hashanah is available from Amazon.
The CZA Machzor for Yom Kippur is available from Amazon.
