Valley Ruach will be hosting the only High Holidays services exclusively for young professionals and their friends and family in the valley!
They will be guitar-accompanied, shorter and more fun than the Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services you grew up with, and, perhaps the best part is, your ticket to all of the services is as little as $50! Become a Valley Ruach member at Adat Ari El for just $180, and you get your ticket for free (in addition to discounts at events and other perks)!
For the first time, we're opening our services up to all ages! All young professionals (21-39) may bring as many friends and family outside that age range as they would like! We heard your feedback, and hope you'll bring your family to our enjoyable services!

Can't afford tickets this year?
Valley Ruach depends on income from ticket fees to cover costs associated with the High Holidays, in addition to help keep prices of other events, all year long, as low as possible. Having said that, if you are experiencing tough times and would like to come, but simply can't afford the ticket price, please email Adam at info@valleyruach.org to ask about financial aid. Valley Ruach is making up to 50 tickets available for FREE to community members in their 20s and 30s who are unable to pay. |
