On the day of Yom Kippur, our Traditional Service, with sermon from Rabbi Rachel L. Joseph. begins at 10:00 AM in our historic Main Sanctuary; our Family Service, designed for families with children younger than thirteen years of age, begins at the same time across the street in Goodman Hall.

Conversation With Clergy begins in Pollin Chapel at 1:00 PM, where you may join the CBI community for a discussion with our clergy as we reflect together on the themes of the High Holidays sermons. Those who wish for private contemplation may linger in the Main Sanctuary where Music and Meditation, also at 1:00 PM, provides space to pause and reflect with inspiring instrumental music. In the Amy R. Goldsmith/Spear Research Library, teens (grades 6-12) may come together at 1:00 PM for a peer-led Teen and Youth Study Experience—no parents allowed! At 2:00 PM, tots take the Bimah for Tots in the Temple: a Mini Mensch Yom Kippur Experience in the Main Sanctuary, at which little ones aged four and under, along with parents and siblings, will meet on the Bimah for stories and song. Also at 2:00 PM, our Yom Kippur Study Session will be held in Pollin Chapel.

Our afternoon continues at 3:00 PM in the Main Sanctuary with a Torah Encounter, during which attendees may take a private moment before the Ark, accompanied by music from Michael Allen Harrison, then transitions into our Afternoon/Yizkor/Ne’ilah Service.
