Updated on Sept. 8 at 4:37 p.m.

Craving community for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, but don’t know where to go? Welcome to our annual list of free and low-cost services open to the public.

Any High Holiday service listed here tops out at $100 (with sliding scales continuing upward), but most are well below that. Some synagogues offer free services for students or new attendees. Some offer child care. All welcome donations. And few, if any, will turn away someone for lack of funds.

Registration is required in many cases, so be sure to check on that.

Most Chabad centers host free or low-cost donation-based services. Some are listed here, but you can also check Chabad’s High Holiday services directory to find a location near you.

Rosh Hashanah will begin at sundown Friday, Sept. 15, and Yom Kippur will begin at sundown Sunday, Sept. 24.
