Our community gathers each year for the High Holy Days in the Fellowship
Hall of Summit Church, 6757 Greene St. near the corner of Westview in
the West Mt. Airy neighborhood of Philadelphia. See below for dates and registration information. The High Holy Days at P'nai Or are Jewish renewal at its best! A gathering unlike anything you may have
ever experienced unfolds every year, as P'nai Or offers High Holiday
services of a different stripe to seekers of all backgrounds. Rabbi Marcia Prager co-leads these festive gatherings along with
many talented P'nai Or members. We blend traditional
liturgy with uplifting heart-opening poetic translations so that Hebrew and
English prayers flow intertwined with each other. The music is profound – deep, high and sweet in a way that caresses your soul. And of course, everyone is included. There is passionate prayer, quiet meditation, opportunities to reflect and do some deep inner work,time to share, to be creative and even make some new friends. The experience of High Holy Days at P'nai Or comes highly recommended.
