Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, is just around the corner and at the Rady JCC, we’re getting ready to celebrate with joyful, meaningful, and inclusive holiday programming for all ages.
Whether Rosh Hashanah is a long standing tradition in your home or something you’re curious to explore, this time of year is all about fresh starts, reflection, and a little sweetness (yes, we mean apples and honey).
It’s also a chance to come together as a community to pause, connect, and mark the beginning of a new chapter.
And this year, we’re doing it in style.
Everyone is welcome to join our celebrations. Bring your family, your friends, or just yourself. We’ve got something for everyone.
Check out our full lineup of Rosh Hashanah programs below and register today.
