After a heartbreaking year, many Jews are feeling disconnected from their home communities or even from Judaism as a whole. As we approach Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, Rabbis for Ceasefire is here to support you in having a meaningful High Holidays experience.

This High Holiday directory lists services from dozens of Jewish communities, all of them eager to warmly welcome those in ceasefire movements, exactly as you are. These services represent a range of religious denominations and approaches to Israel/Palestine; some are affiliated with major Jewish movements and some are independent; some have large clergy teams and some are lay-led; some hold specific perspectives on Zionism and anti-Zionism and some have a range of progressive political orientations. We hope that the variety of national and international offerings allow you to connect with a congregation that suits your spiritual needs.

Whether you’ve observed the High Holidays every year or never before, whether you’ve been loudly protesting or unable to share your views publicly, whether you’re a lifelong activist or newly struggling with Israel/Palestine – you have a place in Judaism.
