Dear Friends,
Some might say that the Jewish New Year begins late in 2024, but we can assure you that it will be here before you know it. Erev Rosh Hashanah is 8 weeks from tonight!
Rabbi Tilchin, Rabbi Funke, Jason Feddy, Ron Levy, Jackie Menter and Scott Spitzer are thrilled to welcome Rabbi Kvod Wieder to the team as we pilot merging our services with the traditional minyan at Temple Beth El of South Orange County. We are all excited to share this experience together with new energy and ideas!
Whether you are planning to join us in-person or via livestream, registration is required as an important security measure.
We are thrilled to share that Rabbi Funke’s 2nd annual Rosh Hashanah Renewal Service will take place on Friday, October 4th in TBESOC’s sanctuary and will be followed by a communal vegetarian potluck Rosh Hashanah Luncheon. You can RSVP to participate in our lunch potluck on our registration page orclick here.
In addition to Pre-School, Youth and Teen services masterfully designed by Rabbi Aviva, TBESOC is offering childcare with pre registration. That link is also accessible on our registration page.
Wether you are new to the JCoOC High Holiday family or joining us for the 9th time, we are eager to welcome you to our soulful, warm, substantive community of people who seek meaning in Judaism at this time of the year. Please emailJoy@JewishCollaborativeOC.org with any questions.
We look forward to sharing this season of renewal with you! Shanah Tovah, Rabbi Marcia Tilchin and the Collaborative High Holiday Team

This question in 2025 has deep personal and political consequences with roots in ancient Jewish debates. Rabbi Daniel will trace how ideas of Jewish identity have shifted across time - from biblical categories to the modern crises of belonging. We will explore why there has never been one clear answer to the question of Jewish identity and why the debate itself may be essential to Jewish continuity.
