ATTENDANCE AND RESERVATIONS
Following is detailed information regarding attendance at and access to CEEBJ’s High Holy Days services — in person or online.  We look forward to welcoming you and your guests! 

ATTENDANCE

A.  In Person:   
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 display your name tags available for pickup right before High Holy Day services, and during the week prior at the office.

1. Reservations are required for Children’s High Holy Day Experiences, Childcare, and Transportation. We also ask for all guests to be pre-registered for security purposes, and so we can be fully prepared to welcome them. Click here to make your reservations or call the synagogue office at 414-228-7545.

2. Guests and Adult Children: While there will be no specific cost for your adult children and/or guests to attend, we ask to please register them in advance, and please encourage them to consider making a donation to the CEEBJ High Holy Days Appeal to support our operations. Click here to register your guests or call the synagogue office at 414-228-7545.

B.    Online: All services can be viewed online via Zoom, Facebook, YouTube and the CEEBJ website (www.ceebj.org) to allow for real-time access to our services for those unable to attend in person. Zoom links and codes will be emailed in Emanu-Email, and available to members logged in to ceebj.org. Services will be available on all other platforms without passwords.
