High Holy Days 5788
Welcome · 5788 / 2027
Let’s celebrate the new year together
Whether you have prayed with us for decades or are joining us for the first time, our doors — and our hearts — are open.
Thank you, members
Your seat is always saved.
Your High Holidays are included with your membership — no registration, no tickets, nothing to do but arrive.
Your membership is what sustains this community — filling our sanctuary with prayer, music, and belonging year after year. We are so grateful you are part of it.
Bringing guests? We would love to welcome them by name and stay in touch — please share who is joining you.
Service Schedule
When we gather
Services for every generation — including our Tot Service, family services, and Shoresh Chag for kids in grades K–5.
Rosh Hashanah
Yom Kippur
Tot Service (ages 0–5 with a grown-up) is a joyful 30-minute service (not a drop-off). Family services are geared toward ages 8+ and their families together (also not a drop-off). Shoresh Chag (grades K–5) is a full drop-off program of hands-on learning — and childcare for ages 0–5 runs at the same time, alongside Shoresh Chag, so parents of younger children can be in services too.
Not a Member Yet?
Visitors are warmly welcome
We would love to have you
Registration will open closer to the holidays. A suggested donation of $250 per person helps make these days possible — and no one is ever turned away for lack of funds.
Heads up: the form is timed, so have your info ready before you start — name, email, and phone for everyone in your party, and (for children) names, ages, school, allergies, and an emergency contact.
The best way to belong here isn’t a one-time visit — it’s joining our community. Through our Brit Kehilah (community commitment), you choose the level of support that’s meaningful to you; membership is open to all, with pledge tiers as guideposts, not gates. Complete our Brit Kehilah and make KAMII your home.
Become a memberName Tags & Accommodations
Personalized name tags help us greet one another warmly — already have one? Please wear it. Would you like a name tag? Request it below. And let us know anything that will help you participate fully — seating, mobility, hearing, dietary needs, or anything else — through our accommodations form.
Book of Remembrance
Each Yom Kippur, during Yizkor, we honor those who came before us. Members are invited to add their loved ones’ names — the Book will be available online and in print for those attending the Yizkor service. If you can’t attend and would like a printed copy mailed, email info@kamii.org. Please submit names by Monday, September 27.
Honor a loved one with a personalized memorial page on our Memorial Wall — a lasting space where family, friends, and community can share stories, photographs, and video, and add memories year after year. Free to begin.

Book of Remembrance
The Book of Remembrance is a cherished tradition where we honor departed loved ones. Every Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, we reflect on those who’ve passed – recently or in years past. The book includes those memorialized through plaques and dedicated rooms in our Sanctuary. This year, the Book of Remembrance will be online and printed for the Yizkor Service on Yom Kippur. Can’t attend? Request a printed copy. To include names, complete the form by Monday, September 27, 2027
