Here is some important information you should know for Kol Nidre and Yom Kippur:

Registration & Bracelets:

On Kol Nidre evening:

One registration table will be open at the side entrance between 5:30-5:45pm for anyone who lost their bracelets or who did not pick up in advance. 

On Yom Kippur morning:

One registration table will be open at the side entrance from 9:30am-11:30am for anyone still needing a bracelet.

You will be required to wear your bracelets to enter SZBE for all High Holiday services (Rosh HaShanah, Kol Nidre and Yom Kippur).

**We ask that you respect the registration times so our volunteers can enjoy services and be in their seats on time.

Tickets & Seating:

There are no physical tickets. A duplicate email was sent to all reserved seat holders notifying you of your seat allocations.

1- There will be reserved seating in both the Main Sanctuary & Alternative Services

2- Seating has been pre-assigned only on accounts where payment arrangements have been made for 2025-26

Street Parking:

As every year, many street signs around the synagogue will be covered. Please pay attention to uncovered signs, fire hydrants or no-stopping zones, as all usual laws and regulations must still be adhered to. The synagogue will not be responsible for fines received.

Parking Lot:

All our spots have been filled!

All those on the list should have their parking passes that they received on Rosh HaShanah in their windshields and have a photo ID for identification if needed.

Other:

1- We ask that you refrain from bringing knapsacks or large bags (with the exception of diaper bags).

2- Security guards will be on duty to check all bags and ID if necessary. Your FULL cooperation and patience are appreciated.

We look forward to seeing everyone back in shul for High Holidays 5786!
