Elul Reflections

In preparation for Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur, we asked a number of members to reflect on how they approach these holidays, trying to shut the door on a year of terrible suffering, trying to pry open the door on a more promising future.

Each weekday of Elul, we’ll post our fellow members’ thoughts on how to greet 5785.

May their hope give us hope. May their strength give us strength.

You can find all of our members’ Elul Reflections online.

High Holiday Tickets

Ansche Chesed membership  includes High Holiday tickets for Individual, Family, and Student members. Please either renew your membership and request tickets, or fill out our membership application if joining us as members for the first time.

Our assigned seats are sold out, but if you are not a member and would like to attend our High Holiday services, you may purchase overflow tickets. These tickets entitle you to entry for all Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur services, and to sit in any empty seat until the ticketholder arrives. Our assigned seats are sold out. Contact the office with any questions.

Note that Sanctuary services will have assigned seating during services on the first day of Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur, while Rosh HaShanah Evening and second day services will be open seating (as marked in the schedule below). Tickets include all listed Sanctuary services.

Book of Remembrance

The Book of Remembrance lists those close to us who have passed away, but who have not been forgotten. This year we will have both a printed version for distribution at the High Holidays, and a virtual version that you can add names to throughout the year.

You can submit names and view the Book of Remembrance online.

If you have any questions about submitting names, please contact the office.
