Member Ticket Pick-Up Process

High Holy Days Service Schedule
We will be offering one service on Erev Rosh Hashanah, and two services for Rosh Hashanah, Kol Nidre, and Yom Kippur traditional services. Times will be assigned based on the first letter of your last name (times assignments alternate every year). We will do our best to accommodate service assignment changes for extended families with different last names, so families can enjoy services together. If you need to make an assignment change, please call the office at 847-362-1948.
