This year, Penn Hillel will be providing the following service options
on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur:

Conservative Services, led by Ethan Aronson.

Familiar, creative, and provocative, the well-known melodies of this service are complemented by a balance of Hebrew and English prayers, along with meaningful insights from students and staff. 

Reform services, led by Rabbi Misha Clebaner, Rabbinic Innovation Fellow and Campus Rabbi, along with Daniel Kieval, cantorial soloist, and Penn student Jake Zubkoff (C'26).

Led by talented students and rabbi, these services include easily accessible, egalitarian liturgy, thought-provoking sermons, and will give you the space you need for contemplation and decision making at the start of a new year.
