Rosh Hashanah Recordings
We are aware there were some technical glitches with our streaming of Rosh Hashanah Services. These unforeseen difficulties were part of a nationwide outage to a popular streaming service. We are so very sorry for the inconvenience and have been working hard on our end to do anything in our power to ensure that Kol Nidrei and Yom Kippur Services are streamed seamlessly. If you are watching on our High Holy Day Streaming pageHEREand the video should freeze or say it is "offline," please try refreshing your internet browser window. Also, if you are watching on Facebook Live, and we should experience a brief down period and bring it back up. Please note, Facebook will create a NEW post of the live feed. We will also be recording our full services and will make them available to you as soon as possible.
Full recordings for Rosh Hashanah I & II Services can be foundHERE.
