Why do we charge Non-Members for High Holy Day tickets? 

Our members, who support our Temple year round, also absorb the overwhelming cost of our High Holy Day services.  To help defray some costs, we ask non-members who are able to do so to contribute by purchasing tickets.  

We do not want finances to stand in the way of anyone joining us for services or from participating in our community.  Please contact the Temple office if you have any questions or concerns about ticket costs.   

   -   The cost of a High Holy Day ticket can later be applied towards Temple Sinai membership if you decide to join before the end of the calendar year.                    

   -   Contributions for High Holy Day tickets are tax-deductible and non-refundable.  

   -   Full time college/grad students and actively military personnel are invited to attend at no charge.

   -   Reciprocity = If you are a current member at another Reform synagogue you may attend our services at no charge.  To receive tickets, have your home synagogue fax a “reciprocity
        letter” to us at (510) 465-0603. 

Are you considering joining Temple Sinai?    

People often use the High Holy Days as a time to get acquainted with a congregation.  We welcome you to do so.  Please contact Lisa Hanauer, our Membership & Communications Director at (510) 451-3263, extension 302 or lisa@oaklandsinai.org for more information.
