Free Online Rosh Hashanah Services and Free Online Yom Kippur Services at Home

If you’re like me, then you might not be going to high holiday services this year. Maybe you don’t belong to a synagogue or live far away from a temple. Either way, you can still celebrate Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur from the comfort of your own home.  Did you know you can now get High Holidays streaming services at home online? Temples and synagogues have free online Rosh Hashanah services and free online Yom Kippur services.

In years past, we have not been able to go to temple, so I searched for Free Online Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur Services at Home. A few years ago, my Temple in Dallas started offering streaming online high holiday services and I figured there were lots of other synagogues doing the same now.  There are also some kid friendly Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur online services. Here is a list of free live streaming Rosh Hashanah services and Yom Kippur Services you can watch at home as well as a few free online High Holiday prayer books for download.

The Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah 2018 starts the evening of September 9.  The Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur 2018 begins the evening of September 18.
