Praying together has never been more meaningful. This year will definitely hit differently as we pray for ourselves, our loved ones, and our community.
An easy to follow, uplifting and meaningful service which welcomes everyone from all backgrounds and affiliations. Join in the evening for Kol Nidrei, or chose a part of the service that you can be at.
The special Yizkor service will be at approx 11:30am, which we will recite and pray for all the names that have been submitted in the Yizkor booklet.
There is a place for every single Jew in town at the Jewish Life Centre. Please register so we can plan accordingly.
The children will have exciting games, and interactive activities to keep them busy on Yom Kippur morning, plus a special kids experience with prayer, and meaningful games to get a feel and understanding about Yom Kippur!
Different age groups will be taking place in Balagan & Sababa
You can register to just play and join the service, or also book a yummy lunch!
TESTIMONIALS
From Your Friends
I have never felt truly uplifted on Rosh Hashanah or Yom Kippur. Being at the Jewish Life Centre made my High Holidays so meaningful and I had inspiration to get me through the difficult year. I so look forward to another service with Chabad, and I cannot wait for the inspiration once again.

My family had such a beautiful Rosh Hashanah. We join the family power hour service, and each one of us, for the kids to us parents thoroughly enjoyed it and gained so much. You can see all the detail and thought that went in to make it fun, interactive and educational, and we are so excited for another Rosh Hashanah to join again!

High Holiday Appeal
Over Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur there are three elements that can inscribe us for a sweet, healthy and beautiful year ahead.
Teshuvah – Forgiveness:
This is between you and others, anyone you may have wronged or have bad feelings towards, take the opportunity today to ask for forgiveness and bring peace and harmony between you and our fellow human beings.
Tefillah – Prayer:
This is between you and G-d. Open your heart and soul, and connect, and speak to G-d. He is waiting to hear from you, and always ready to listen to your prayers!
Tzedakah – Charity:
This is between you and your community. Giving to others brings blessings to you. No amount is too small, the essence is to give. It is a special time to give charity before the High Holidays. If you have not had the opportunity to give to a charity, please consider giving to the Jewish Life Centre. You can give through the link below.
