‍PLEASE NOTE  2026 CHANGE:

Live streaming option available for EREV ROSH HASHANNAH & KOL NIDREI Evening Services ONLY and service prayerbooks are available for download.

‍

Since the onset of the pandemic, Vista House of Lovingkindness - Beit Chesed has offered virtual access to services to keep the community connected during challenging times. However, the leadership has reflected on the unique power of physical presence. The most sanctifying acts of the holidays—the shared songs, the eye contact, and the collective warmth of the room—are best experienced in person. Seeing the courage of a Vista Del Mar resident in the choir or the pride of a Nes Gadol student leading prayer on the beemah creates a sense of belonging that a screen simply cannot replicate.

‍

To balance the needs of the community with the sustainability of their programs, Vista House is transitioning its streaming options. For the upcoming holidays, livestreaming will be available for evening services (Erev Rosh HaShanah and Kol Nidrei). However, all daytime services—including Rosh HaShanah morning, Yom Kippur morning, and Yizkor/Ne’ilah—will be held exclusively in person.

‍

Vista House of Lovingkindness looks forward to welcoming everyone home this fall to pray, sing, and celebrate as one singular community.
