Looking for an online Rosh Hashanah or Yom Kippur service? Here are some options, based on your interests.

The global pandemic has upended traditional High Holiday services this year, closing synagogues or severely limiting attendance for the most-attended services of the year on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. It’s also given rise to countless online services, collaborations and innovations that will allow Jews around the world to have diverse, robust holiday experiences online.

The options can be overwhelming. But we’ve collected a non-exhaustive list of High Holidays offerings, arranged by the kind of experience you’re seeking.

Most of these offerings are free, but a few require a small payment. To prevent unwanted intruders, many require preregistration. So don’t wait until after Rosh Hashanah has begun Friday evening to check out the options — but know there are plenty available if you do.

If you want to see your friends: Most non-Orthodox synagogues are holding online services, and if you register in advance, you may be able to see your fellow congregants while you pray. To stay secure and also to shore up finances at a precarious moment, many are requiring preregistration and payment. But if you plan ahead, you should be able to drop in on most communities.
