Jewish center hosts services for unaffiliated

Chabad Jewish Center will host free services next week for Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year.

The services are geared toward the thousands of unaffiliated Jewish families in Orange County, said Rabbi Reuven Mintz.

“Many families don’t attend services because the Synagogue environment is foreign to them,” Mintz said in a written statement. “There is a need to reach out and ensure that they too participate in services on these holiest of days of the Jewish year.”

Services will begin at 7 p.m. Monday at the Hyatt Regency, 1107 Jamboree Road. The services will continue at 10 a.m. Tuesday and Wednesday with children’s services and programs beginning at 11 a.m. Prayer books will be provided.
