High Holidays
In 2020, we adapted our High Holiday services to meet the challenges of the COVID pandemic — creating a meaningful Jewish experience to come together as a community.
The Difference-- Our services are Zoom hybrid
- Services are hybrid; ie available on Zoom as well as in-person.
- While this began as a response to Covid, we have been finding that this has made our services & programs more
accessible to people who have moved out of town — like a woman living in Mississippi!
- To accommodate the more limited attention spans of Zoom participants, we have shortened our services accordingly
For those of you participating via Zoom, a mahzor will be made available electronically via screenshare. Alternatively, if you would like to borrow a physical mahzor, we will have them available (a $40 refundable deposit is required).
Like most shuls, fees for High Holiday tickets help maintain the synagogue on a year-round basis. We encourage people to become members. This includes a High Holiday ticket for single membership (two for family memberships).
Even if you just come for the High Holidays, your contribution goes a long way to support the Jewish community in downtown Boston. The additional cost over the seat-only price is only a few dollars a month.
