Services on campus:

Beth Tikvah, the Reform congregation in Carlisle, organizes services for both Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Most of these services are held in the Stern Center. Students often participate in these services by leading particular prayers, doing English readings or even chanting Torah. For a schedule of on-campus services, please visit www.dickinson.edu/departments/asbell.

The Asbell Center is delighted to announce that Rabbi Loraine Heller will be joining us for joint Hillel-Beth Tikvah High Holy Day services this year. Rabbi Heller was ordained by Hebrew Union College and served for the last two decades as spiritual leader of Temple Beth El in Bradford, Pennsylvania.  

No tickets are required for these services. If you want to get a taste of Beth Tikvah services, they have Shabbat services every Friday evening during the school year at 7:15 p.m. in the Asbell Center. Students are always welcome to attend.
