High Holidays
Our High Holidays are infused with music and offer something for all ages. From children’s services to afternoon hikes, from healing to noshing, this is the time of year when our entire community comes together and connects with each other.

Sukkot
Beth Evergreen has its own large sukkah that we put up every year, and we explore different ways of celebrating the outside during this time. Below are some photo galleries of our celebrations.
