Morning Service for Young(ish) Families | 9:30a.m. - 10:00a.m. at UCLA Royce Hall Terrace

Morning Service | 10:00a.m. - 12:30p.m. at UCLA Royce Hall

As on Rosh Hashanah, our clergy, choir, and band will lead us with powerful and sacred words and music, inviting us to continue the meaningful process of T’shuvah, reflection and repentance.

Yom Kippur Yoga  | 2:00p.m. to 2:45p.m. at UCLA Royce Hall West Lobby

Join Rabbis Klein Miles and Cohen for Yoga, reflection and meditation on this sacred afternoon.

Join us for a brief, interactive service and discussion and the reading of the Book of Jonah.

Yizkor | 4:00p.m. - 5:00p.m. at UCLA Royce Hall

Perhaps Judaism’s most powerful moments are found in the communal blessings and music of memory. Amid a day of self-reflection, we take time to honor the memories of those we have lost and to reflect on grief. Families with young children will be welcomed back to the Sanctuary prior to the start of N’ilah.

 
N'ilah | 5:00p.m. - 6:15p.m. at UCLA Royce Hall

The gates do not close and the Book of Life is not sealed until the sun sets on Yom Kippur. This holiest of days concludes with this uplifting and joyful service—a perfect way to end the day before breaking the fast.
