High Holidays Registration 2023

High Holidays Registration

In-Person and Zoom Services & Events
September 1 update: Registration is now open to all (members and non-members) with no waiting list. The Kol Nidre service is at capacity and no more seats are avaialble.

Thank you for your interest in attending JCA High Holiday services. We will have a single service track this year, combining elements of the Ne'imah and Lev Shalem approaches into one cohesive experience in the main sanctuary.

Our main sanctuary seating capacity is 325 people at each service, and our family service capacity is 100 people at each service.

We are making these seats available through a registration process, first-come-first-served, with priority given to JCA-members in good standing.

Registration is distinct for each of the services--meaning you can register to attend all or some of the High Holiday events.

While both members and non-members are welcome to complete this registration, non-members will be placed on a waiting list until September 1.

As of September 1, any non-members who are already on the waiting list will be allocated remaining available spots, anybody who registers after this date (regardless of membership status) will be allocated spots on a "first come first serve basis".

Name Tags

This year, as part of our security measures, the JCA is requiring that all in-person attendees where a name tag while in the building. Please indicate the total number of individuals who your above ticket selection represents, and fill in the fields for how their name should appear on their name tag.

Name tags can be picked up at the first service you attend for the year, and should be returned at the end of the last service you attend so that we can reuse the lanyards and plastic holders next year.
How many name tags are needed for this registration? Each adult and child for whom an in-person spot has been reserved should be counted. *
