Local synagogues continue their High Holy Days observances beginning Wednesday with services for Yom Kippur, the day of atonement, when, as the Jewish Center of the Hamptons says on its website, “we gather for a solemn and sacred service that calls us to reflect and repent.”
Chabad of the Hamptons in East Hampton will hold a Kol Nidre service at 6:20 p.m. on Wednesday. Next Thursday, services will be at 9 and 11:30 a.m. and at 5 and 6 p.m. A buffet breaking of the fast will follow the 7:09 p.m. conclusion of Yom Kippur. Registration questions can be directed to 631-329-5800.
