The B’nai Vail congregation welcomes individuals and families of all backgrounds and branches of Judaism to celebrate holidays with us. Our holiday services are designed to be inclusive and friendly, and offer a bit of tradition mixed with our unique informal mountain style and always a creative touch. See the calendar to learn of holiday celebrations and observances.
Because of our diverse community, Rabbi Newman designs and publishes an original B’nai Vail machzor to include traditional prayers while inspiring a meaningful experience with a variety of English readings. Cantor Michelle leads the congregation in familiar holiday liturgy and is accompanied by piano, cello and violin. These exceptional services are inclusive, participatory and offer a poignant and inspirational message.
Passover
A community seder provided by volunteers of B’nai Vail provides a joyful and memorable holiday celebration. Our Haggadah contains the traditional elements sprinkled with current and creative readings. Cantor Michelle inspires musical participation of all ages with her upbeat and bubbly style as she sings a variety of Passover favorites and original, comical tunes.
Reservations are required. Please check the newsletter for times and fees. Volunteers are appreciated as we prepare and serve the meal.
