High Holy Day tickets were mailed out this week to all Temple members in good standing (all financial obligations paid through August 2016)!  Be sure to check your mailboxes and call the office if you have any questions.    If you would like to purchase additional tickets for services, register for our FREE children and family services, you may do so by contacting the Temple Administrative Office at 408-292-0939.  

All Temple members in good standing (all financial obligations to the Temple paid through August 2016) were automatically mailed High Holy Days tickets on September 12.  Tickets are valid for the entire High Holy Days season.  Everyone over the age of 13 must have a ticket.  Be sure to bring your ticket and ID to all services, as you will need it to be admitted to the Heritage Theatre.

We can not have the High Holy Days without your help! We are looking for volunteers at each service to help with the following: Greeting, Ticket Checking, Ushering, and Handing Out Prayer Books! We need about 10 volunteers per service and volunteers need to arrive one hour before the service they are helping with.
Enjoy dinner and get trained on all the behind the scenes action of the High Holy Days at a training session on September 19 at 6:00 PM.  

Our Sisterhood will sponsor a Break the Fast at The Heritage Theatre (1 West Campbell Ave., Campbell) at approximately 6:30 PM on Wednesday, October 12 to conclude our Yom Kippur Day.  To RSVP and/or become a sponsor, click here.
