$500Let Chicago Loop Synagogue be your spiritual home for the High Holidays! As always, services will be in our magnificent sanctuary featuring our three-story world-renowned stained glass window. Rabbi Aron Wolgel and Hazzan Jonathan Kohan will lead us in prayer, and this promises to be an uplifting and meaningful service you won’t want to miss.
Rabbi Aron Wolgel is excited to return to Chicago Loop Synagogue after having led us in ruach-filled services the last few years. A graduate of Brandeis University and the Pardes Educators Program in Jerusalem, he received Rabbinic Ordination from Machon Yashrut and is currently the Assistant Director at Yachad. He incorporates creative education strategies into his tefilah practice, and his thoughtfulness and warm personality engaged our congregation long after services had ended.
Hazzan Jonathan Kohan currently serves as Director of the Cantorial Institute at Seminario Rabínico Latinoamericano. He has a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Buenos Aires, degrees in Cantorial and Jewish Studies from the Seminario, is a rabbinical student at the Seminario, and has a Masters in Jewish Studies from the Hebraica University of Mexico. He is scheduled to be a featured performer at several venues in North and South America.

Rosh Hashanah Day 1 (Thursday, October 3, 2024) – Immediately after services
Up close with our clergy:Community Lunch with Rabbi Aron and Hazzan Jonathan
Our High Holiday clergy aren’t just two very talented people who lead us in prayer and song, they’re also real people with incredible knowledge about Judaism and life in general. After Rosh Hashanah services on the first day, please join us in the social hall for a community lunch with Rabbi Aron and Hazzan Jonathan. You can expect a delicious meal, a freewheeling conversation where you can ask them anything, and a strong sense of community and ruach. It’s a unique opportunity to get to know the people who have guided our High Holiday worship for the past several years – a chance that you won’t want to miss.
