Rabbi's Message

 

​
 

We at Chabad of Ocala and The Villages join you in hope and prayer as together we approach the new Jewish year of 5785.

Together we'll listen to the call of the Shofar, taste the sweetness of the Apple-and-Honey, recommit to G‑d on Yom Kippur.

Join us this year to celebrate together in our synagogues, in our communities—and with your pre-holiday preparation online.

Wishing you a happy & sweet New Year!

Rabbi Yossi and Chanie Hecht
 
 
High Holidays at Chabad
 

Join us for High Holiday services. The prayers are warm, the people are friendly and everyone feels at home.  

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

No Membership necessary!

Many of the prayers are recited by the congregation in unison, in English and Hebrew, 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.

Tashlich Service

 

​
 
 In the late afternoon of Rosh Hashana, the entire community joins together in a proud processional for the observance of tashlich. Representing the themes of renewal and rejuvenation, this tradition also has a way of demonstrating a spirit of communal solidarity as young and old march and sing together while en route to perform a fascinating mitzvah. 
Tashlich Service October 4th, 4:00pm. Meet at the Chabad House and walk together
