High Holy Days 5787

The start of a New Year, so rich with possibility and promise, is nearly upon us. As the High Holy Days draw nearer, though, I invite our individual and collective remembrance of this truth: “Realizing the spiritual potential of these Days of Awe is ultimately informed by the choices and attitudes with which we enter this holy season.

Prior to my studies for the rabbinate, the job I had included several minutiae-laden tasks that often left me feeling stressed or aggravated (or both). I still recall the counsel my boss would offer at such times: “You’re placing the emphah’sis on the wrong syllah’ble.” Undeniably quirky yet also quite wise, this was his trademark way of reminding me not to forget the bigger picture or ‘lose the forest for the trees.’

General Information

We continue the use of e-tickets for the High Holy Days and on August 13, all adult members in good standing and those who purchased guest or associate tickets received an email from SimpleTix with a unique e-ticket to attend any High Holy Day service at Temple Sinai. Select the ‘E-Ticket’ option above to learn more.

For security reasons, tickets are required to be scanned for all services, including those that are open to the community. You will need to display e-tickets upon entry for every service you attend, either printed or on a mobile device.

As we gather together, please join us to help create a courteous and respectful atmosphere for worship, study and community in our holy space:

  • Please turn off or silence cell phones during all services.
  • The sanctuary doors will remain closed while the congregation is standing and during the sermon.
  • During these sacred Holy Days, please allow congregants the opportunity for prayer and reflection by keeping noise in the sanctuary and the lobby to a minimum.

Saving of Seats

In order to enhance the High Holy Days experience for everyone, attendees will only be able to save a seat for themselves, one additional adult, and each non-adult accompanying child. Congregants wishing to reserve seats for additional family members or friends will need to ensure there is one adult present for every two seats.
