Because of the pandemic and the requirement to wear masks, several procedures associated with High Holidays services have been altered. These changes include:
Many fewer seats in the CEA Sanctuary and Social Hall
Shortened services for both Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur
Two morning services each day of Rosh Hashanah
No in-person auctions, aliyah donations, mishaberach, hashkavah, or Yom Kippur Women’s donations
No extra aliyot during morning services
Because of the inability to conduct these fundraisers in person, we will do them virtually. Please read on.
High Holiday Reservation Request Form
To make a seating reservation request, please fill out the Seating Request form. Because of the severely reduced number of seats, we may not be able to honor your request.
Auctions
If you would like to bid on an honor, please go to our auction page. You will see a list of all available honors. To make a bid, click on the Make a Bid button on the bottom of the page. Or if you are uncomfortable making an online bid, you can email in your bid or call Haim. The directions are on the auction page.
Aliyah Donations and General Donations
If you want an aliyah and make a donation for that aliyah, please go to our bid page and bid on the aliyah you want.
If you want to make just a general donation, click on the button below.
Women’s Donations on Yom Kippur
This beautiful custom, unique to our synagogue and a few other Sephardic communities, certainly deserves to be continued. To make a Woman’s Donation, please click the button below
