How much are tickets for the High Holy Days this year?
As usual, tickets for our BCC members are free! This year, we have decided to offer free tickets to everyone who would like to join us for the High Holy Days. Our vision is to be truly inclusive and welcoming to all who might need a High Holy Day home in the hopes that BCC may become an all-year-round home. We want to encourage new faces and voices to join our community and eliminate the barriers to entry during this holy season. We encourage donations from all who attend and have a few generous underwriters who are helping us to make up the difference.
Do I have to be a member to attend BCC's HHD services?
No! We welcome everyone who would like to join us for this special time of year.
Is there a cost if I intend to watch remotely?
No, all services are free this year!
