The following is a list of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services being held at synagogues across the state that require neither membership nor the purchase of tickets.

In other words, attendance is absolutely FREE – or, as Rabbi Yosef Wolvovsky of Chabad Jewish Center in Glastonbury puts it, “no strings attached!” We anticipate there will be more shuls adding services to the list – so keep checking.

Rosh Hashanah begins Sunday evening, Sept. 13 and concludes Tuesday night, Sept. 15. Yom Kippur begins Tuesday evening, Sept. 22 and concludes Wednesday night, Sept. 23.
