reflection, community and the call of the shofar.


Congregation Leyv Ha-Ir ~ Heart of the City invites everyone in our larger community to join us for High Holy Days services.  Services will be led by Rabbi Julie Greenberg with Cantorial Soloist Rena Branson.  This year we will be at the First Unitarian Church of Philadelphia at 2125 Chestnut St., AND on Zoom.  First Unitarian is a beautiful, spacious place that is fully handicap accessible.  Face masking and proof of Covid vaccination will be required.

Pre-registration is REQUIRED here.  While we like to welcome everyone, for security reasons we need your registration at least one day in advance.

As is our custom, we do not sell tickets or charge a fee to attend our services.  We do strongly encourage donations to support these services as well as all of our programming throughout the year.  These guidelines are provided as suggested amounts:

1 person: $200
2 or more people: $150 per adult

Please click here to make a contribution, or you can do it as part of your registration.  You can pay by credit card or check mailed to Leyv Ha-Ir, P.O. Box 15836, Philadelphia, PA 19103.
