High Holidays 2025

Chabad Jewish Center • Sonoma Valley

Rabbi's Message

As we approach the New Year, we are invited to pause, reflect, and renew. Together, we'll hear the stirring call of the Shofar, taste the sweetness of apple dipped in honey, and recommit our hearts and lives to G‑d on Yom Kippur.

These holy days are more than tradition, they're moments of connection, growth, and meaning. I warmly invite you to be part of it all as we usher in a year filled with purpose, blessing, and light.

Wishing you and your loved ones a Shana Tova, a sweet, healthy, and joyful New Year.

See our schedule of services and programs below, and please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

- Rabbi Mendy Wenger
