High Holy Days

Students, Faculty and Friends of Georgetown University:

Every year, Jewish Life at Georgetown strives to make the High Holy Days a vibrant and meaningful season for connection and community on campus. We are excited to welcome students, faculty, staff, and the broader community to services in Gaston Hall.

Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services will be led by Rabbi Ilana Zietman, the Director for Jewish Life, and our new High Holy Day prayer leader, Rabbi Allen Lipson.

We ask that you register for Georgetown’s High Holy Days services and please consider supporting Jewish Life at Georgetown with a donation.
