Jewish Holidays

Jewish holidays are a time for us to reflect and reconnect with our traditions, with each other, and with something bigger than ourselves. These moments of celebration link us to the generations that came before and to Jews around the world.

If you are new to the New York City area, exploring your faith, or looking to connect more deeply with others, you’re in the right place!  

UJA’s Holiday Hub is the place to find worship options, local resources, holiday merchandise, and more for major Jewish holidays. UJA warmly welcomes you to join us, however you observe.
