AN HISTORIC FIRST!

REFORM-ORTHODOX-CONSERVATIVE
HIGH HOLIDAY SERVICES

ALL AVAILABLE ON AMERICAN TELEVISION
JBS
For the very first time, Jews can sit in the comfort of their own homes and experience on television the variety of Jewish traditions that reflect the best of American Jewish pluralism.

For these High Holidays, JBS will be televising Reform, Orthodox and Conservative services to hundreds of thousands of viewers throughout America.

“Whichever style of service is meaningful to our viewers,’ explained JBS President Rabbi Mark S. Golub, “they will find it on JBS.”

“This is especially important this year during Covid-19,” added Rabbi Golub, “when most people are unable to attend a synagogue in person. And it is most important to those who are elderly or ill and would have no other way to be part of the Jewish community on the High Holidays.” 

JBS, a non-profit educational channel with the tag “celebrating all things Jewish,” has for many years been televising Shabbat and Holiday services from Central Synagogue in Manhattan, one of America’s leading Reform congregations led by Rabbi Angela Buchdahl.

Earlier this year, Rabbi Marc Schneier, founding rabbi of the celebrated Hampton Synagogue in Westhampton Beach, New York, broke new ground in the Orthodox world when he began televising Kabbalat Shabbat services on JBS prior to the formal start of Shabbat. This was the first time an Orthodox synagogue had televised any service.

The Kabbalat Shabbat services proved so successful and popular among JBS viewers, Rabbi Schneier now pre-records Shabbat services with Cantor Netanel Hershtik and the Hampton Synagogue Choir led by Maestro Izchak Haimov. Similarly for the High Holidays, JBS will be televising pre-recorded services from the Hampton Synagogue.

And for these High Holidays, JBS will also be televising services from one of Conservative Judaism’s foremost synagogues, Sinai Temple of Los Angeles. Led by Rabbi David Wolpe, JBS will now be featuring Judaism from both the East and West coasts.

Most Jews usually attend services of one movement – Reform, Conservative or Orthodox. On these High Holidays, JBS will make it possible for Jews to experience services of every movement. It is a rare opportunity for Jews to grow in their appreciation for the beauty and meaning in other forms of Judaism.

Below is a schedule of High Holiday services by synagogue, as well as a list of television providers carrying the JBS channel.
