Join Temple Rodef Shalom in celebrating the High Holy Days this October. The congregation is excited to welcome the wider Northern Virginia community to celebrate the holiest days of the Jewish year. 

The High Holy Days consist of Rosh Hashanah (the start of the new Hebrew year) which marks the beginning of a 10-day period, known as the Yamim Nora-im (“Days of Awe”) culminating with Yom Kippur (the “Day of Atonement”), the holiest day on the Jewish calendar.
