Rosh HaShana and Yom Kippur 2020 substitute service experience

What does it mean to be Jewish under Covid-19? How do we celebrate Rosh HaShana and Yom Kippur under lockdown when we are unable to do to a Shul, Synagogue or Temple.

How do we substitute our loss of community this Jewish New Year.

The South African Jewish Report is proud to bring you the feel-good digital event of 2020. If you are missing your family, friends and community – this year, we unite Jews around the world in the : The United Nation of Jews of Rosh Hashana This Jewish New Year – we may be apart but we, as a people, are united as one.

The SA Jewish Report unites the world in celebrating Rosh Hashana. We mix community leaders, Rabbis, and chazanim from around South Africa and the globe as we skip from country to country uniting the Jewish World – Am Yisrael Chai!
