Our community gathers each year for the High Holy Days in the Fellowship Hall of Summit Church, 6757 Greene St. near the corner of Westview in the West Mt. Airy neighborhood of Philadelphia 19119.

The High Holy Days at P'nai Or are Jewish renewal at its best! A gathering unlike anything you may have ever experienced unfolds every year, as P'nai Or offers High Holy Day services of a different stripe to seekers of all backgrounds. Rabbi Marcia Prager co-leads these festive gatherings along with many talented P'nai Or members. We blend traditional liturgy with uplifting heart-opening poetic translations so that Hebrew and English prayers flow intertwined with each other. 

The music is profound -- deep, high and sweet in a way that caresses your soul. And of course, everyone is included. There is passionate prayer, quiet meditation, opportunities to reflect and do some deep inner work, time to share, to be creative and even make some new friends.

See below for dates. Registration information (and lots more!) is on our website.

The experience of High Holy Days at P'nai Or comes highly recommended. Read the article "Putting the High Back into the High Holidays at P'nai Or" on our website to learn more about our High Holy Day services and what others have to say! Explore deeper meaning and practice for the High Holy Days by reading Reb. Marcia's article on T'shuvah.

Come be with us. There is a suggested donation, but NO ONE is ever turned away from P'nai Or for financial reasons. If you want some place special to be for the Holidays, be at P'nai Or!
