Congregation Shir Heharim (Brattleboro Area Jewish Community - BAJC) invites Jews and their families and friends to our Yom Kippur services. Rabbi Amita Jarmon will be accompanied by congregants on voice, cello, guitar and piano. Services will be held at the West Village Meeting House (All Souls Church), 29 South Street, Brattleboro, and are accessible via livestream. (See links below.)

Yom Kippur services begin on Sunday evening, September 24th at 7:00 with the beautiful and haunting Kol Nidre prayer, and resume at 9:30 Monday morning, September 25th. A Yizkor service to remember and honor departed loved ones will be held at approximately 12:15. We will break for a few hours at 1:30. The afternoon service begins at 5:00 with a reading of the Book of Jonah and a contemplative process about transgression, regret and forgiveness. Ne'ilah, the closing service, begins at 6:30, followed by a communal break-fast.

Childcare will be provided from 9:30-1:30 on Saturday, 9/16 and Monday 9/25.
BAJC hopes that guests will help cover the expenses of making the services available to all by contributing to our High Holiday Appeal at https://bajcvermont.org/.
Contributions can also be mailed to BAJC, PO Box 2353, Brattleboro 05303. Contributions from guests will be applied toward membership if they choose to become a member at any time during the year.
