CBI invites members and guests to celebrate the High Holy Days with us. From our musical family services to our traditional sanctuary services, learning sessions, and more, there is something for everyone. This year’s theme is “a new heart and a renewed spirit,” an invitation to open our hearts to the newness and renewal of this season.
For both planning and security purposes we require advanced registration for all High Holy Days services and programs. Please note that space in our sanctuary is limited, registration does not guarantee you a seat. Overflow is available in the tent and library with sound but no video. Services in our sanctuary will be livestreamed.
2026–27 Fair Share Members: There is no charge for attending High Holy Days services or programs, but registration is required. You may also register non-member guests. We ask that you make a financial contribution that reflects your capacity on a sliding scale of $18–$360 per guest (we suggest $180 per guest). No one will be turned away for lack of funds.
Non-Members: We ask that you make a financial contribution that reflects your capacity on a sliding scale of $18–$360 per person (we suggest $180 per person). No one will be turned away for lack of funds. We find the High Holy Days are a time when many people explore Fair Share membership at CBI. Learn more.

See the full list of High Holy Day services and programs below. Registration for Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur is centralized through the below registration button. Registration for Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur is by day, not by program. This means whether you plan to attend our sanctuary services, teen program, or kids services, we just need you to select the day(s) you will be on campus: Rosh HaShanah Day 1, Rosh HaShanah Day 2, Kol Nidrei, and/or Yom Kippur.
