Security
As you know, we maintain a police presence at our weekly Shabbat services. This important support will also continue throughout the High Holy Days to help keep our congregation safe.

Membership Dues
The deadline for membership renewals has been extended to September 15th. Members who have not renewed by that date will be considered non-members, unless other arrangements have been made.

High Holy Day Attendance Procedures
For the first time, non-members will be required to purchase a ticket to attend High Holy Day services.

Non-members who are not relatives or friends of current Temple members must verify their identity at least one week before services by submitting a photo of their driver’s license or another government-issued ID to:    Richard Dimentstein, Temple Beth Elohim President
                                                                                              Email: rdimentstein@gmail.com

Ticket Information

Tickets are $100 per adult (18+) for non-members who are not guests of current members.

The ticket cost includes admission to our Break-the-Fast.

If you are a Temple member and plan to bring a guest, you must provide Richard Dimentstein with the guest’s name one week prior to services.

Greeter Role
There will be greeters at the entrance during the High Holy Days. They will have the membership and guest lists. Anyone not on these lists will be denied entry. This step is solely for the safety and security of our congregation.

We appreciate your understanding as we take these precautions to ensure a safe and meaningful High Holy Day experience for everyone. We look forward to sharing these sacred days together as a community.

If you have any questions, please contact me at rdimentstein@gmail.com.

Sincerely,
Richard Dimentstein
President, Temple Beth Elohim
