High Holidays
High Holy Days (HHD) and Festivals
– Music during HHD is what makes Congregation Ahavat Olam “the music temple” in Massachusetts.
– HHD and festival services are powerful, meaningful and spiritual, but mean something different to each of us.
– Experience our unique musical arrangements and participation by our rabbi/cantor, adult choir (a mix of professionals and volunteers), and professional musicians.
– Post B’nai Mitzvah are invited to serve as Torah readers and members are asked to participate in meaningful ways during the High Holy Days.
