A welcoming community of Jewish life, worship and learning

To the Temple B’nai Abraham community,

The High Holy Days will soon be here. Though we will not have the usual observance we’ve been praying for all year nevertheless, we will observe these Days of Awe according to Temple B’nai Abraham’s sacred traditions as meaningfully and as safely as we can. Each of us will have the opportunity to reset and begin 5782 in a spiritually uplifting manner.

To do so, please read each of the following points carefully:

• Tickets and streaming links will be sent to members in good standing only
• As of today, we are proceeding with: 
• Regular services in the Ross Sanctuary
• Family and tot services outside under a tent in the Lower Circle
• Teen programming outdoors, weather permitting
• Regular services streamed (with a slight delay) to a tent on the patio in the Denburg Garden
• Streaming all services (regular and family) with online instructions on how to access to follow
• If you plan to attend any Rosh Hashanah services in person, you must complete an RSVP form with the COVID waiver and proof of vaccination record. A negative PCR test within 72 hours is also acceptable.  No RSVP is necessary for accessing the streams at home.
• Seating in our limited outdoor spaces will be first come, first served. 
• To enter the Temple building, for everyone 12 and up, proof of vaccination or negative PCR results from within 72 hours is required. Children under 12 are welcome without testing. 
• To expedite your entry, please send in your vaccination record and waiver as soon as possible. Otherwise, we expect there will be a delay entering the Temple.
• Everyone inside and under both tents will be required to social distance and wear masks, regardless of vaccination status.
• TBA’s safety policies are made under the counsel of our member medical professionals and public health officials. These protocols are subject to change.
• For handicapped parking, reservations are required. Please email the office
• Print copies of our High Holy Day Machzor are again available for borrowing. Please contact the office.

Thank you for your cooperation in ensuring that we can all remain healthy while enjoying an uplifting High Holy Day season together. Whether online or in person, we look forward to joining together as one Temple family.
