WELCOME TO OUR SHUL, YOUR HOME
This year, join a meaningful and inspiring High Holiday service in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Our beautiful Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur services - traditional yet beginner friendly - will be held in our Shul, on Maple Avenue in Red Bank next door to the YMCA.
Come for one or all of the High Holiday services, for all or a part of the prayers (or just for the Rabbi’s Sermon), our Shul is your home for your Jewish Soul.
Kindly RSVP below. As always, there is no charge to participate in our Shul and no one is ever turned away for financial hardship or inability to pay. However we do have a suggested donation of $250 per person - $36 for students, children are free - to help cover our expenses and enable us to offer our year round services and programs.
It’s a journey we all take, and it’s yours to explore. We would love for you to join us !

“God is always close to us, but we are not always close to God. How then do we come close to Him? Some religions assume that, first we have an experience of God, then we decide to lead a religious life. In Judaism we assume the opposite: first we lead a religious life; only then, slowly, falteringly, do we begin to have the experience. ‘We will do, then we will understand’, said our ancestors at Mount Sinai. So it is in all matters of the soul. We learn to love music by listening to music. We learn to be generous by performing acts of generosity. ‘The heart follows the deed’, said the medieval classic Sefer ha-Chinnuch. Don’t expect to have faith or find God by waiting for Him to find us.
We have to begin the journey. Where we begin doesn’t matter, so long as we begin. Then God meets us halfway.”
