A Message from Chabad Sunset Strip
In a heartfelt message to the community, Rabbi Mordechai Kirschenbaum and Pessa Kirschenbaum shared:
“Things feel chaotic right now—geopolitically, socially, and emotionally. But Rosh Hashanah is your soul’s reset button. It’s about turning down the noise around us and tuning into something deeper—something timeless, real, and yours.”
They added that the High Holidays are a time to gather, reflect, and reconnect—not just with faith, but with each other.
“Whether you’ve joined us before or are new to the community, our doors are open to you. You don’t have to be religious to show up—just open to something meaningful.”
How to Join
High Holiday services are open to all, with advance RSVP encouraged to help with planning.
