Rosh Hashana
Rosh Hashana 5787 at Chabad Dharamsala — uplifting prayer, the holiday simanim and four festive meals in the heart of the Himalayas.
Two days of the festival, four meals — first night, day one, second night and day two. Pick the ones you want here, meat or vegetarian, and add children if needed. The evening meals are in Bhagsu or Dharamkot, your choice; the day meals bring everyone together — day 1 in Dharamkot, day 2 in Bhagsu. Places are limited and advance registration is required — see you at the holiday table!
Register for the festival meals
Every meal of the festival in one form — pick what you want and pay once. Up to 3 adults on one registration, plus up to 3 children under 12.
Registration opens later, G-d willing — stay tuned for updates.
