“Judaism should be accessible and welcoming to all Jews regardless of background or financial situation,” said Rabbi Paltiel, director of Chabad of Manhasset. “We strive to create a nonjudgmental atmosphere where beginners feel comfortable and everyone can participate meaningfully.”
Chabad-Lubavitch has championed accessible Judaism for decades, making High Holiday services available free of charge – a model that synagogues and organizations worldwide have begun to embrace.
Chabad’s services will include traditional melodies, spirited singing, engaging holiday sermons, bilingual prayer books, contemporary prayer explanations and guidance for those unfamiliar with synagogue customs.
“Our user-friendly services create an enjoyable and meaningful experience for everyone from beginners to those well-versed in tradition,” Paltiel said. “We believe that when people feel welcomed and included, they discover the beauty and relevance of these ancient celebrations.”
