High Holy Days 5782/2021

High Holy Days

This year's High Holy Day Services bring special challenges. Services will be in person for those comfortable worshipping in our sanctuary and available virtually for those who prefer to worship from home. The challenges are making appropriate plans that will keep everyone safe and healthy.

This issue of Connections provides an overview of protocols and processes we have put in place as well as the service schedule.

Please read this carefully. In order to enter the building you must:

Have registered in advance, and
Present your tickets, and
Be masked (regardless of vaccination status).

Registration for High Holy Day Services (Required)

You must register for High Holy Day Services - whether you plan to attend in person or virtually.

For Those Attending In Person

Registration will help us plan appropriate seating in the sanctuary and maintain a safe distance between family groups, It will also provide us with a list of attendees and their contact information, on the remote chance we need to do contact tracing. To register, TBC members in good standing click here.

For Those Attending Virtually

You must register to receive the link to attend virtual services. To register, TBC members in good standing click here.

Access information will be emailed to all TBC members in good standing who have registered by September 3rd. If you register after that date, you may not receive your access information in time to participate in all services.

For Guests of Congregants

Friends and extended family of congregants may also request access to services by completing the Registration Form. Suggested donation amounts are $54 for one person; $180 for a family.

Masks Are Required - Regardless of Vaccination Status

Every person whether vaccinated or not, including children, entering TBC must wear a mask over their nose and mouth and remain masked while in the building. Please make sure your mask fits correctly. We suggest using a medical grade or KN-95 mask, as they are more effective than cloth masks.

We understand that praying with a mask on for an extended period of time can be uncomfortable - especially for children. If you need a break, please step outside the building before removing your mask or your child's. An usher will be in the lobby to readmit you once you re-mask.

We appreciate your cooperation. Our goal is to help ensure the health and safety of our community.
