Dear Friends:
We hear it time and time again:
"I didn't grow up with this…”
"I don't know the prayers..."
"I'm only Jewish-ish..."
But here's the truth:
There’s no such thing as more "Jewish" or less "Jewish."
We are the same in our essential Jewishness — each of us a part of something eternal, timeless, and unbreakable.
The High Holidays aren’t about labels, background, or knowledge.
They’re about showing up. Reflecting. Reconnecting.
They’re about coming home — to your soul, your people, and to G‑d.
This year, we invite you to Come Home for the High Holidays — to a place you already belong.
Whether it’s been years or it’s your very first time, you’ll find a space that’s open, warm, and welcoming. No judgment. No expectations. Just meaning, tradition, and a community that feels like home.
Here’s how you can be part of it:
RSVP for one or more of our High Holiday services or programs.
Share this message with a fellow Jew who might be looking for a place to (re)connect.
Donate to help ensure these experiences continue to be open and accessible to all.
This year, don’t just observe the holidays. Experience them.
In a space that was made for you — just as you are.
We can’t wait to welcome you.
❤️

Chabad of Aspen Hill High Holidays
There’s a place for everyone at Chabad High Holiday services.
You may associate “High Holidays” with “Membership Dues.” At Chabad, we’ve never believed in such a model.
Our mission is to provide every Jew a warm and friendly environment, one that comes neither with any obligations and no strings attached. Our services are refreshingly casual: you will find them easy to follow and appreciate the insights and explanations. You don’t have to understand or even read Hebrew! You can come and go whenever you want. Stay for a few minutes or a few hours.

There will be a Rosh Hashanah community dinner on Monday evening, September 22. Scroll down to RSVP!
