We look forward to seeing you this year for the high holidays with KolNYC! Please note that we will not be allowing walk-ins this year so make sure to pre-register at www.kolny.org

Services will be held indoors but in light of COVID-19 and Delta, the Chazzan and Acappella group will be davening in front of an open, outside door to the terrace. The Shofar will also be blown on the outdoor terrace and HEPA filters will be in use. Hot Kiddush with Screme Dessert to follow on Rosh Hashanah and we will have a Break-Fast on Yom Kippur- both held outdoors. Please note masks and double vaccination required.

Kol HaNeshamah will be meeting this year for the high holidays with some adjustments. Services will follow strict social distancing guidelines and to comply with halakhic guidelines it will be much shorter. We will be having a simultaneous indoor/outdoor option. The outdoor area will have a covered canopy however, in the event of heavy rain / significant wind, we may not be able to hold the outdoor service; that will be determined on the morning of each day.

Please note that we are NOT accommodating walk-ins this year and will only allowing in those who pre-register beforehand. We are limiting the amount of seats so if the website reflects that we’re sold out we unfortunately cannot squeeze anyone else in. Once you reserve your seat, you will receive a confirmation of your reservation. We don’t want to have to turn you away so please only show up if you’ve received a reservation confirmation. You will need to bring your confirmation with you to be admitted. NO ONE WILL BE ADMITTED WITHOUT PROOF OF REGISTRATION.

God willing we hope to be able to celebrate and observe future high holidays in full next year.
