High Holy Days
You’ll notice a change to your High Holy Days tickets this year; your ticket now takes the form of a name tag. We are excited to roll out this change to facilitate personal connections during this time of year when more people than usual are in our synagogue.
Your name tag-tickets will be mailed the last week of August. If you haven’t taken care of your annual commitment, please send it to Shoni as soon as possible so that your packet goes out on time.
