High Holy Days 2022/5783 -- Frequently Asked Questions

 

 

Are the services in person or virtual this year?

 

As we look forward to being together for a joyous Rosh Hashanah and a meaningful Yom Kippur, we continue to take into consideration the ever-evolving pandemic. The health, safety and well-being of our community remain our top priority. This year, we are pleased to provide both in-person and live-streamed services, enabling each to choose how you prefer to participate.

 

These materials – the tickets, brochure and website details - reflect our current plans. Our COVID Task Force will continue to monitor the local situation, as well as CDC & State recommended guidelines to align our protocols. We will keep all our members updated, in advance, of any changes in services or format.

 


Can we invite extended family members and/or friends to our worship services?

 

We encourage you to invite your out-of-town family and friends to join with us, as our guests, and celebrate the start of 5783. This is a wonderful way for us to showcase the beauty of our High Holy Day services and welcoming nature of our congregation.

 

Please use this link to register all extended family and out-of-town guests who are not temple members. 

 


How do I include my loved ones in the Yom Kippur Book of Remembrance?

 

If your loved one has been in our Book of Remembrance in the past, or if you have lost a loved one since last High Holy Days, your loved ones are already included in our list for this year and YOU DO NOT NEED TO SUBMIT those names again.

What are the COVID protocols at Caramoor?

The health and safety of our community remain our top priorities as we plan for the High Holy Days at Caramoor.  We are blessed that all our services will be held outdoors at Caramoor in the Venetian Tent as well as the open-air bandstand.

We continue to monitor events and will inform you of any changes to comply with guidelines or best practices to protect the public health and the wellbeing of our community as outlined by local, state and federal agencies.  Any changes will be posted on our website and emailed to all members directly.

Services will also be live streamed so members may participate virtually if they choose.
