Shabbat and Holidays

Shabbat

We meet on the second Saturday and fourth Friday each month for Shabbat services at our home base, the Jewish Community Center of Ann Arbor.  As of fall, 2022, services are also streamed on Zoom (links are included in our email newsletters).

High Holidays

Our High Holidays services have always been open and ticketless and we welcome non-members to join us. Our High Holiday services are held at the First Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Ann Arbor.

Festivals and Other Holy Days

We have traditionally gathered as a community to celebrate the festivals and other Jewish holidays. Highlights of the year include our Purim bash and communal seders. Here’s our full calendar of events.

Sukkot 2015: we made lulavs from local plants and shook them to the east, north, south, west, and up and down.

All AARC services are open to the community and all are welcome! We strongly encourage non-members to attend services or other events in order to get the flavor of who we are. For more information about ritual and services at AARC contact info@aarecon.org.
