About Our Services
We Welcome You To Join Us For 5785 High Holy Day Services
Main Services
We are thrilled to gather in our newly renovated Niznick Sanctuary for Main Services this year. These services are led by VBS Clergy – Rabbi Nolan Lebovitz, Rabbi Ed Feinstein, Rabbi Yael Aranoff, Cantor Jacqueline Rafii and Cantor Phil Baron – with musical accompaniment by piano, guitar and a professional choir. Main Services include our traditional prayers, reading of the Torah and Rabbi's sermon.
Reserved seating is included with VBS Premier Membership. Please contact our Development Department for more information.
Traditional Services
Traditional Services offer a fuller rendition of the holiday prayers without musical accompaniment. Services are held in Sher Lopaty Chapel. These service offerings are officiated by VBS Clergy - Rabbi Ed Feinstein, Rabbi Yael Aranoff, and VBS Rabbinic Intern Avi Kushlan and led by members of our congregation. Traditional Services include more traditional liturgy and a Rabbi's sermon.
Sephardic Services
Sephardic Services are led by guest Sephardic Cantors and a Rabbi, offering traditional Sephardic melodies. This year, Sephardic Services are held in Malkin Burdorf Hall. Please refer to our service schedule for service times.
Family Services
Family Services welcome families with young children, led by VBS Rabbinic Intern Avi Kushlan and our Family Service Musicians. Tot Shofar is tailored to our littlest congregants – preschool-aged five and under – and their families, while B’Yachad is offered to elementary school-aged children and their families. These lively service options include singing and storytelling.
