High Holidays 2026

High Holidays
with Chabad of Finchley

Join us at Chabad in Finchley for the High Holidays, where every Jew is welcome, regardless of background.

Reserve Your Seat

A shul is more than just a synagogue or temple. A shul (Yiddish for a place of prayer and study) is a home for any Jew looking for a warm and spiritual place to grow. At Chabad, everybody's welcome. Come when you can. Leave when you wish. Bring the whole gang or come alone, and treat your soul to something special. With a "come as you are" attitude you'll feel right at home, and with an English / Hebrew prayer book you will be able to express yourself in a language you understand.

No matter who you are, if you are looking for a place to express your soul on the High Holidays, this shul's for you.

All are welcome, and there is no charge to attend any services. Advance registration is requested. Feel free to meet us at one of the sponsorship levels on the registration page.
