Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur 2025 at Chabad of East Lakeview

We welcome you for services in the beautiful, main sanctuary at Chabad. We invite you to experience a most incredible high holidays together with fellow community members.

Please note: by popular demand we will also be offering 15 minute Shofar blowing services on both days of Rosh Hashanah, Tuesday & Wednesday, September 23-24 at over 10 locations throughout Lakeview.

In keeping with Chabad’s welcoming policy, we’ve always provided ample seating for reserved and walk-in participants alike. We kindly request that all attendance reserve so we can plan accordingly.

About our services:

Whether your background in Jewish prayer and practice is extensive or limited, the services at Chabad will leave you feeling enriched, connected, uplifted and energized to start your New Year in the most meaningful way.

Many of the prayers are recited by the congregation in unison, specifically in English, so that everyone can participate.
Hebrew/English prayer books are used throughout the service.
The rabbi provides an English running commentary of explanatory and meaningful insights. 
We are honored to welcome back for the the 7th year our beloved cantor Rabbi Yoel Wolf. You are sure to feel the connection as his voice fills the room.

At Chabad no one is turned away due to lack of funds.
