HHD 5785 Members Booking Form

We are delighted to welcome you to celebrate the High Holy Days with Finchley Reform Synagogue. 

Our High Holy Day services this year will take place across three different locations depending on the particular day:
- FRS in Finchley
- StoneX Stadium in Mill Hill
- Haberdashers' Boys' School in Elstree

 
Due to the match day schedule at StoneX Stadium, once again we have been faced with a logistical challenge for Kol Nidre and Yom Kippur. This year, we are delighted to be bringing the FRS joy and spirit to a new venue for FRS: Haberdashers' Boys' School in Elstree.

Habs is a beautiful, spacious, multi-access venue with plenty of indoor and outdoor space... and sufficient parking!

All of the programming you have come to expect from FRS will take place at Habs: Our creative ‘main’ services with choir, Rhythm ‘n’ Jews family services, an exploratory service, yoga, our creche, + more.

However, for those unable to attend services at Habs due to accessibility needs, observance or other reasons, we will be holding parallel traditional Kol Nidre and Yom Kippur Day services at FRS with Rabbi Howard Cooper.


You will NEED to make a booking below if you wish to attend: Kol Nidre, Yom Kippur Day or Yom Kippur B'Yachad at FRS. You may also select a timing preference for Yom Kippur Rhythm 'n' Jews at Habs. See the table below for more info.

Booking is not needed for members to attend other services at Habs, for any other services at StoneX or FRS, or to join us online.
