Adults & Young Adults




This service takes place in the Main Sanctuary and includes all prayers and joyous singing.  The Rabbi will deliver vibrant and meaningful talks, and page numbers will be announced regularly throughout the service.

We have truly inspiring services at this location as we feel the holy atmosphere which we have come to appreciate on a daily basis throughout the year. A  “boxed kiddush” is included, just before Shofar blowing.

For both Adults & Young Children




This convenient, shortened and lively experience will enable  you to feel and experience the deeper meaning of the holiday sitting together as a family.

This program takes place in the brand new Family Minyan Sanctuary adjacent to the main sanctuary at 10 Disera Drive (NOT THE PLAYHOUSE). There will be a combination of explanation and discussion. Prayers will be conducted in both English and Hebrew.


For Adults & Young Adults




This service has all the ancient Sfardi rituals tracing its roots to the original Jews who moved to India thousands of years ago. This minyan takes place in the Moses/ Feuerstein Sfardi Sanctuary adjacent to the family minyan room.

We’re working very hard to prepare the best talks, singing, snacks and community meeting events this high holiday.

Why not make this the year to join Westmount?

We ask you to consider joining the community with an annual membership this year instead of guest tickets. The membership includes the high holiday seats and support the Jewish community services and torah learning that is done by the Westmount Shul and Learning Centre year round.

 

 

 

What’s new this year?

In an effort to make your High Holiday experience more meaningful, we offer a variety of talks and lecture options, including an alternative class given by  Rebbetzin Gail Michalowicz. Please feel to drop in on her class as you feel the need to take a break from the traditional services.

The children’s activities and programs:

We will have a variety of programs to ensure that children ages 2 – 9 are supervised and educated in a caring and enjoyable atmosphere. This service will be available for participants in all services / programs and are under the direction of Rebbetzin Jane Farkas.

 

This year, Rosh Hashanah is on September 30th and October 1st. Yom Kippur starts on Wednesday night, October 8th / October 9.
