SECURITY AND TICKET INFORMATION

The following are updates regarding security and High Holy Day tickets information:

• For the safety of our congregation, we will have an increased security presence both in and around the Temple.

Additionally, for Security reasons:

• We will not allow any packages, backpacks, briefcases or shopping bags in the Temple building during our High Holy Day worship services.
• No one will be allowed in without a ticket.
• Tickets are not transferable and cannot be given to non-members; tickets used in an unauthorized manner will be confiscated.
• We are encouraging that all women leave their purses at home if possible. 
Whether large or small, they must all be searched and the search process will slow down entry into the temple and may cause delays.

Services in the Raisler Room

·THIS YEAR WE ARE AGAIN UTILIZING THE RAISLER ROOM for expanded seating capacity for the holidays to accommodate all current and new members. Services for all new members (first two years) will be held in our Raisler Room. High Holy Day services will be conducted by a wonderful team of clergy—Rabbi Jonathan Stein, Rabbi Darren Levine, Rabbi Marci Bellows, Cantor Bruce Ruben, Cantor Daniel Singer, and our Rabbinic Interns Matthew Reimer and Erica Rosencranz. Representatives of our Board of Trustees and committees will also attend services in the Raisler Room so that they can welcome and worship with new members. In addition, all longtime members have the option of attending this service (and many prefer its intimate style).

Please note: Once the Sanctuary, Balcony, and Davis Auditorium are filled to capacity, all members will be asked to attend services in the Raisler Room.

Children’s Services

School-age children who are not able to sit through adult worship services should attend the Children/Youth services appropriate for their grades. These services and programs occur at the same time as the early evening and morning services. (See schedule for details.)

No child or teen will be allowed in the halls during services. We ask that children remain under parental supervision at all times, unless attending a service/program. Other than for the planned activities, there is no staff available to guarantee the safety and security of children inside or outside the building.
