High Holidays
at Chabad of Hawaii
Message from the Rabbi
We at Chabad of Hawaii join you in hope and prayer as together we approach the new Jewish year.
Together we'll listen to the call of the Shofar, taste the sweetness of the Apple-and-Honey, recommit to G‑d on Yom Kippur.
Join us this year to celebrate together in our synagogues, in our communities — and with your pre-holiday preparation online here on our website.

AS ALWAYS AT CHABAD OF HAWAII, THERE IS NOT CHARGE TO ATTEND SERVICES. Donations gratefully accepted.

Please RSVP and let us know if / when you are coming!

Wishing you a happy & sweet New Year!

Rabbi Itchel & Perel Krasnjansky

Tashlich
In the late afternoon of Rosh Hashana, the entire community joins together in a proud processional for the observance of \"Tashlich\". Representing the themes of renewal and rejuvenation, this tradition also has a way of demonstrating a spirit of communal solidarity as young and old march and sing together while en route to perform a fascinating mitzvah.
We will be leaving to Tashlich from Chabad House at 4:30 pm on the first day of Rosh Hashana, Tuesday, Sept 23.
