Looking for a Shul for the Holidays?
As we head into the New Year, Jews around the world are getting ready to reflect, party, pray, and of course, eat! NEXT: A Division of Birthright Israel Foundation wanted to make it easier to find a High Holiday experience that’s fun, meaningful and close by, so they created an interactive map.
With more than 475 events from over 250 cities, the map is easily searchable by different locations and an array of personal preferences. Whether it’s an LGBT-friendly event, a traditional worship service, or a Rosh Hashanah dinner with other 20s/30s Jews, you will be able to easily search for the High Holiday experience you want in your city. You can also easily share the map’s events on Facebook and Twitter, so you can connect with friends and experience the High Holidays together.
