Reform synagogue Temple Kol Ami is offering free holiday services for the first time.
The Thornhill synagogue is expecting about 50 extra people, Rabbi Micah Streiffer said.
“This is an opportunity for Kol Ami to share its unique style with families who might be looking for a different kind of synagogue experience. Our services are interactive and musical, featuring guitars and stories for children. It’s comfortable, and informal, and spiritual,” Rabbi Streiffer said.

Family services will be held at 9 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 3 and Yom Kippur (Wednesday, Oct. 12). Both services will be followed by crafts and activities to help children and their parents learn about the holiday.

Jews begin celebrating Rosh Hashanah (The Jewish New Year) on Oct. 2 (Sunday) at sundown and will continue celebrating until Tuesday, Oct. 4.
