tickets | highlights | volunteers | security | inquries
Havurah on The Hill, in collaboration with The Synagogue Council of Massachusetts, is offering High Holidays services at the historic Vilna Shul on Beacon Hill in Boston. Services will be again be led by Yoni Bock, who last year led the first Yom Kippur services held at the Vilna Shul in over 20 years. Last year, we had a wonderful turnout of over 275 people from our community. This year, we are excited to expand our service offierings to include both Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. We look forward to welcoming back those of you who attended last year as well as those of you who have never been to the Vilna Shul!
HOH is pluralistic and not of a particular denomination. Services are conducted in Hebrew, intermixed with some English readings. As part of our learning services mission, we provide explanations and teachings throughout. Services are led by people in our community, so there are a variety of melodies and customs that are familiar to all.
Tickets will be issued on a first-come, first-served basis, and only 300 tickets will be issued. Please note that in order to be on the RSVP list, payment for this event is requested by Friday September 7th. We will not be mailing out tickets, instead your name will be on the pre-paid ticket list at the door.

He holds a BA from McGill University, where he majored in religious studies and Middle East studies and an MA from Tufts University's Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy.
