High Holiday Tickets & Seating Information
High Holy Day Ticket & Seating information was mailed to members during the summer. The request deadline has passed.
Copies of the information can be downloaded here (ticket letter) (seating form)
Tickets were mailed the week of September 15th.
High Holiday COVID Policy
We look forward to seeing many of you during the High Holy Days. We want to make this a comfortable experience for everyone. The expectation is that all persons attending services in the sanctuary/social hall will have been fully vaccinated. Non-vaccinated persons cannot attend services in person. If you have not yet submitted your vaccination card, please do so. You can mail or email a copy to the office
(josh@bnaitikvahma.org) or drop it off during summer temple office hours. If emailing, please put “vaccination card” in the subject line.
Tickets will not be issued unless we have a proof of vaccination on file for everyone in your party.
Bimah Flowers Sponsorship Opportunities
While our sanctuary has been refurbished, we also enhance our High Holy Day senses through beautiful floral arrangements. Please consider donating to help sponsor 1 or more of our 4 sets of the bimah flowers by filling out this brief form to indicate your sponsorship. Thank you.
Ushers & Greeters Needed
We need your help ensuring that everyone has a smooth, helpful, and positive experience during the High Holy Days. There are new families to our community and others who have not been in the building for a long time, and we look forward to the new seating layout in our new chairs. We need you to be a guide.
To help as an usher or greeter, please fill out this brief form indicating your shift preferences.
Each shift is roughly 2 hours of helpfulness. Thank you!
Food Drive for Canton & Randolph Food Pantries
B'nai Tikvah's High Holiday Food Drive has returned!
You can help in three easy steps:
1. Collect your bag at Rosh Hashanah services
2. Fill the bag with the items listed on the flyer attached to the bag (also to the right)
3. Return the filled bag when you come for services on Kol Nidrei/Yom Kippur
The Social Action team will deliver the food to the local food pantries for distribution.
People also need your help throughout the year. Contact Ann Hartstein about helping with Family Table.
