Following is detailed information regarding attendance at and access to CEEBJ’s High Holy Days services—in person or online.  We welcome you and your guests to join us in-person and online. 

ATTENDANCE

In Person Attendance:

Name Tags/Tickets: To help everyone connect or reconnect at this joyous and sacred time, and to better support our security efforts, we’ve enclosed name tag cards for your household. We will also make them available for your guests. We ask that you bring your name tags to all in-person Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services. These will serve as your High Holy Day tickets, and we will ask you to show them to our greeters as you enter our building.

We will have name tag holders and lanyards to help you display your name tags available for pickup right before High Holy Day services, and during the week prior at the office.
