Explanation of Services (2025) 2026 Coming Soon

We are excited to once again return to a normal service model as we have seen the world around us come back to life. We have learned some valuable lessons from the last few years and have incorporated some of the things we have learned to help enhance our offerings over the High Holidays. Below please find the explanation of services, ticketing and pricing for this year. It is our hope that all these adjustments will help anyone and everyone feel comfortable this holiday season. Please note that pre-registration is required at all our in person services.

Regular Service
The regular service will take place at the usual morning and evening times. It will be held in the Main Sanctuary/Social Hall as normal. The service will be not be abridged this year. Social distancing may be observed by reserving seats and requesting distancing from other reserved seats. Social distancing is not required this year, but as in all years we ask that all that attend be respectful of others around them. Reservations are required and seating assignments are optional, at an additional fee. All will be asked to provide their own books, which are available for purchase in advance in the main office. Masks will not be required, but are optional in all sections.

Other Offerings in Person
We will once again offer Shofar blowing in the park, day and time can be found in the schedule above. We will also provide a Yizkor service outdoors during Yom Kippur as well. Time and location of the Yizkor service is also found above. Please stay tuned to your email and shul communications, as we will post the times and days as soon as we have set the full schedule.

Tickets
Everyone, of all ages, is required to be pre-registered with a ticket. Even your newborn needs to be registered in advance. Please note that we do not charge for children under 18 living at home or those under 25 who are still in college. Those children will still need to be pre-registered with a ticket at no cost. Service tickets are $180/person for the entire holiday season.
