2018 Jewish High Holidays at Miami

Help your students celebrate while away from home.
Help your students celebrate while away from home.
Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are a time when we start over and take responsibility for our actions. These holidays are an opportunity to ask ourselves what matters most to us, both individually and as a diverse and multi-talented community. What are our core values and how are we going to live them out? What kind of person do we want to be? To continue to become? What kind of community? What stuff do we want to own up to and then let go of? What do we need to be our best selves? How can we support each other on that journey? The High Holidays are full of questions and we need you to help ask them. Below is information about the High Holiday events through both Chabad at Miami University and Hillel at Miami University.
