High Holy Days
High holiday services at Temple Beth Hillel are personal and intimate. Make Temple Beth Hillel your spiritual home for the high holidays next year.
Rabbi Dean Kertesz and Cantor Howard Cohen lead our thoughtful and inspiring services. Rabbi Dean’s thought-provoking drashot are timely and relevant.
Leading our volunteer choir, Cantor Howard’s soaring voice invites everyone to join in the service. Congregants also participate in English and Hebrew and ritual honors.
