Security & Passes

 

Given the heightened state of alert around the world, we are taking additional steps to ensure that everyone can gather safely for the High Holy Days this year.

​

Temple Israel and Shaaray Torah are issuing passes to all members and registered guests. This is in case there are members and guests who attend but with whom our greeters and police are not familiar.

 

Members received their passes before Rosh Hashanah via email and USPS. You may be asked to show this before entering Beit Ha’am. In the event that you do not have the ticket with you, you may be asked to show a photo ID. Click here to register for a guest pass.

 

Thank you for understanding and for helping to keep our shared sacred space safe for the holy days. 

​

​​​Book of Memory

​

The Book of Memory will be distributed on Yom Kippur at the Memorial Service, and will also be available online on this webpage.

​

​​​Temple Israel Yearbook

​

For security reasons, we will not publish member names, addresses and phone numbers. The yearbook will include all other information as usual and is available for pick-up during the High Holy Days. Temple Israel members who need contact information for another member may call the office.​ An online version of the yearbook is available by clicking here.
