We are proud to share with you a new vision for HEA High Holy Days in 5781. This year’s holidays are not what we had expected.

We invite you to be part of a sacred covenant. Click HERE.

HEA members can pick-up High Holiday Supply Kits (with Machzors) and High Holiday Bundle Boxes for families of children (ages 0-5) between Monday, August 31 to Tuesday, September 15 at the HEA office.
