High Holiday Toolkit from USCJ’s Learning Department

The Learning department at USCJ has created the following resource guide for the High Holidays. What follows are videos, webinars and materials to help you plan activities and learning opportunities for congregants of all ages, in school settings, during High Holiday services, in special programs and in informal settings. These resources also include materials to share with families with young children, teens and adults to enrich the High Holiday experience.

Best wishes for Shana Tovah U’metukafh – a good and sweet new year.
