High Holy Days 5786
This High Holiday season, we invite you to enter 5786 with Kehillat Sankofa, a community for Black Jews rooted in song, spirit, and justice.
Our services will be led by rabbi koach baruch frazier and Kohenet Shoshana Akua Brown, Black Jewish spiritual leaders who weave
prayer, music, and deep reflection into every gathering. All are welcome.
Together, we’ll lift our voices in song, ground ourselves in tradition, and create space for renewal, healing, and joy. These holy days are not only about prayer—they are about being in community, remembering who we are, and dreaming the world we long for.
