Streaming Services
Growing numbers of synagogues now live stream their services online. On the High Holidays, these streams are often restricted to synagogue members or cost money to watch — but not always.
Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum, recently appointed by President Biden as Commissioner for the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), will lead free-of-charge High Holy Days Services online and open to all at NYC-based Congregation Beit Simchat Torah, the world’s largest LGBTQ+ synagogue where she is Senior Rabbi, starting on September 6 with Rosh Hashanah, and continuing through Yom Kippur on September 16. Anyone may register at cbst.org.
