High Holy Days
High Holy Days General Information
Congregation Beth Israel is a welcoming and inclusive center for Jewish life in the Monterey Peninsula area. In that spirit, we have eliminated the need for tickets for High Holy Days services. Donations from the heart are always welcome and will assist us in defraying the costs of additional security and staffing during this High Holy Days season.
We look forward to observing the High Holy Days together, to refresh and renew ourselves to better perform God’s Mitzvot.
We strive to be accessible to Jews of all backgrounds and their families. Congregation Beth Israel takes pride in fostering inclusiveness while we focus on our spirituality in this beautiful setting on these Holiest of Days.
Thank you all, and welcome!
1. LIVESTREAM - All services will be held in our Sanctuary and Social Hall and online.
2. AS A COURTESY TO OTHERS ON THESE DAYS OF AWE, please be seated on time and please turn off your cell phone before entering the sanctuary.
3. DIRECTIONAL PARKING ASSISTANCE will be available during the evening services. Most cars will park below the building. For aged and disabled individuals, limited parking will be available adjacent to the building.
4. RIDESHARING - Carpooling and ridesharing is encouraged. If you need a ride or can offer to drive someone who does, please call the Temple Office well in advance.
5. ENTRANCE - Upon arriving at CBI for the Holy Days, we are asking everyone to enter through the front doors of our building. Thank you for supporting this important security measure.
6. FOOD DRIVE - Our food drive supports the Monterey County Food Bank. Grocery bags will be available in our foyer for you to fill and return.
7. RECIPROCAL SEATING? We understand that some members travel during this time of year. If you would like to observe the High Holy Days with a Reform congregation in the community you’re visiting, we’d like to help. You can make arrangements directly with the URJ at https://urj.tfaforms.net/forms/view/76/ or contact the CBI office and we will make arrangements on your behalf.
The Board and staff look forward to seeing you as we bring in New Year 5785. L’Shanah Tovah!
