Rosh Hashanah 5772 - 2011 falls on Thursday, the 29th of September and will continue for 2 days until Friday, the 30th of September.
Yom Kippur 5772 - 2011 falls on Saturday, the 8th of October.
From Los Angeles come Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur online services and videos from the Jewish Television Network and the Wilshire Boulevard Temple. Having faith that they will update the site for 5772.
See a past service on video (why wait to repent?) or see the LIVE webcast of Kol Nidre service this year (we hope).
Rabbis on videos at JTV discuss atonement and repentance. There also are holiday video recipes for tzimmes, honey cake and tagelach.
In these coming Days of Awe all of this is good nourishment for the soul.

Last year I cyber-attended the Yom Kippur service from L.A. I did not like it at all. It was way too casual, hippy-dippy, with a Yoga meditation during the Kol Nidre service. Yes! They turned down the lights and the female rabbi guided the congregation and viewers through a real Yoga meditation during the service!!
And the rabbi brought her big blue exercise ball onto the stage for the service. She talked with the congregation DURING the service, asking them unrelated and casual questions during the service - something like "what was his name" and other wacky behavior.
It was disturbing to me how ridiculously casual it all was.
She sang with the band as if it was a lounge act.
Toooo La-La-Land for me.
I will never return there.
It cheapened the High Holiday experience for me.
I mean the rabbi bringing her big blue exercise ball out onto stage during the Yom Kippur service!!! Are they all crazy in L.A.?
This year I cyber-attended a Rosh Hashanah service from Hollywood, FLORIDA - Temple Beth El. (Ironic that it was also Hollywood, but NOT CA).
It was their first webcast and I hope not their last. I really enjoyed a traditional reform Rosh Hashanah service.
Thank G-d for a normal, appropriate rabbi and cantor and a respectful service.
They announced that Dr. Barry Kaplowitz provided the webcast equipment, so whoever you are Dr. Kaplowitz, thank you!
Please visit their site and encourage them to continue their webcasts.

May we all be sealed in the book of life.
This is from a reform synagogue, Temple Emanu-El in New York. They have been doing it for several years.

Temple Israel in Boston, a reform synangogue, is streaming live both of their simultaneous services--a traditional one from the sanctuary and a more contemporary one from the auditorium. tisrael.org
