A: Yes, we will hold two services (Yachad and Traditional) on Rosh Hashanah Morning, Kol Nidre & Yom Kippur Morning.
“Traditional” Service- Led By: Rabbi Stephen Kahn, Rabbi Sara Mason-Barkin & Soloist Robert Erlichman along with teen vocalists.
CBI’s Traditional Service will provide members with a CBI High Holy Day experience in the way we’ve “always done it.” Our rabbis and soloist, Robert Erlichman, will be joined by CBI’s Music Director Jackie Huber, our volunteer and professional choirs along with our gifted teen vocalists in providing a worship experience which is familiar, uplifting and meaningful. We will use our Machzor (“HHD Prayerbook”) Mishkan haNefesh and select the liturgical melodies and readings in the style and tempo you have grown accustomed to in past years.
“Yachad” Service- Led By: Rabbi Stephen Kahn, Rabbi Sara Mason-Barkin & Soloist Robert Erlichman along with our Junior Choir and teen vocalists.
CBI’s Yachad (“Together”) Service is recommended for individuals of all ages and stages of life, our intergenerational families and members who love worshiping together at Services, both with and among members of the community who are ages 5 to 105. Yachad will include moments that are solemn and moments where you want to sing loud, clap or even dance. The Service will be led by our rabbis and vocalist Robert Erlichman, CBI’s Music Director Jackie Huber along with both teen vocalists and members of our youth choir. We will use our Machzor (“HHD Prayerbook”) Mishkan haNefesh, experiencing a blend of traditional texts and times for reflection, while incorporating musical styles that are both traditional and contemporary.
*PLEASE NOTE: As in the past, CBI’s Erev Rosh Hashanah, Second Day Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur Afternoon Services (including Yizkor and Ne’ilah) will primarily follow the style of our “Traditional Service.”
