Worship
Join us at HCRJ for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services. Everyone must have a ticket in order to be admitted to each of the evening and morning services. Tickets are not required for any of the Family Services or the Yom Kippur Transition & Reflection Period, Afternoon and Memorial and Concluding Services, but reservations are required.
Members in good standing will receive their tickets in early September. Members in good standing are those who have paid in full (1) the previous fiscal year’s membership dues, building fund & security fee and (2) the first quarter of this fiscal year’s membership dues, building fund & security fee.
