Public Invited to CSUN's High Holy Days Celebrations

The public is invited to join Cal State Northridge students, staff and faculty in Jewish High Holy Days services being held in September in the Northridge Center of the University Student Union by the campus Hillel.

Rosh Hashana, the start of the Jewish new year 5757, will be observed on Friday night, Sept. 13, and Saturday morning, Sept. 14. Yom Kippur follows 10 days later starting with the Kol Nidrey service on Sunday night, Sept. 22. The services will be led by Hillel's Rabbi Jerrold Goldstein and song leader Donna Weiser.

Goldstein said the services are in the upbeat style of liberal Judaism, with many contemporary prayers as well as the basics of tradition.

"They are very appropriate for students who are seeking their way into Jewish renewal," he said.

For more information or tickets and times, call the CSUN Hillel office at (818) 886-5101.
