We look forward to gathering with our community for the High Holy Days 5787! Kol Dorot offers many opportunities to come together, with High Holy Day services welcoming everyone from the youngest to the oldest!
This year, all of our High Holy Day services (except for Shofar Kids) will be held at Kol Dorot River Edge, 385 Howland Avenue, River Edge. Shofar Kids, our High Holy Day experience for children ages 0-5 and their families, will be held at Cherry Hill School, 410 Bogert Road, River Edge.
Our Adult Choir adds to the joy of our services with beautiful music. Our services are participatory and inclusive. We come together at the end of Yom Kippur to break-the-fast as a community, with everyone invited to join us for this special gathering.
New this year, we will be offering Afternoon Enrichment for those who would like to stay at Kol Dorot River Edge for more of the day on Yom Kippur. There will be two, one-hour sessions, between the Morning and Afternoon Services: Session 1 - Talking About Israel, at 1:00 pm; and Session 2 - Poetry and Songs, at 2:00 pm.
We use a ticket system to provide adequate seating for everyone. Guest tickets are available for congregant’s family members. Free community tickets are available for Shofar Kids, Family Services, Erev Rosh Hashanah, and Second Day Rosh Hashanah.
Sukkot will be observed at Kol Dorot River Edge and a special Simchat Torah program will be held at Kol Dorot Oradell. They are joyous celebrations for all ages!
