Synagogues Ready for Jewish New Year

Local synagogues are preparing for Rosh Hashana, the Jewish high holiday that celebrates the new year.

The holiday begins on Sunday at sundown. It is a time for Jews to begin introspection and look back at the mistakes of the past year while planning the changes to make in the new year.

There are a number of synagogues in the East End and East Suburbs, including:

• Oakland: Rodef Shalom, Young Peoples Synagogue/Bohnai Yisrael

• Squirrel Hill: Beth Shalom, Chabad of Pittsburgh, Temple Sinai, Tree of Life

• Monroeville: Temple David and Jewish Chabad of Monroeville; Shoresh David (Messianic congregation)

• Eastmont: Parkway Jewish Center

The Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh provides this detailed list of services and other holiday observances for many of the congregations above. To access the list, click here.
