This year, for the first time, Nashuva will live-stream all High Holy Days services. 

In past years, Nashuva’s live Kol Nidre service webcast in partnership with JewishJournal.com has been one of our community’s greatest outreach tools, reaching tens of thousands of people who participated with us from all across the world — people who are disconnected from Judaism and looking to return, people who are home-bound, people in nursing homes, hospital beds, people in hospice, Jews who are looking for a way to reconnect to our traditions and faith.

WE ARE SEEKING SPONSORS WHO CAN FUND A HIGH QUALITY FILM PRODUCTION OF OUR SERVICES THAT WILL GO OUT TO PEOPLE ALL ACROSS THE GLOBE. 

PLEASE EMAIL US AT [email protected] TO LET US KNOW WE CAN COUNT ON YOUR SUPPORT.

WE ARE ALSO SEEKING SPONSORS WHO CAN FUND OUR SERVICES AT TEMESCAL CANYON.  THEY ARE AMONG OUR MOST SPECIAL AND BELOVED SERVICES.
