High Holiday Adult Services at Vilna Shul

Join the Vilna for non-denominational, egalitarian, High Holiday services run by Havurah on the Hill. Led by Rabbi Ben Lanckton and Deborah Melkin, services are conducted in Hebrew with English readings, with explanations and teachings throughout the rituals. Services are community-led with a variety of familiar melodies and tunes for both new-comers and seasoned attendees. If you are interested in family services, please click here.

Tickets will be issued on a first-come, first-served basis, and only 300 tickets will be issued per holiday. Please note this is a pre-paid event.
