TBS members and guests join together for the full set of High Holiday Services led by Rabbi Jessica Lowenthal and Cantorial Soloist Beth Purcell. In addition, we have a robust volunteer choir that adds tremendous spirit to our services. We have a proud tradition of opening our doors to everyone without charge or tickets. However, we encourage you to make a donation of whatever size you feel appropriate or via the donation cards that are available during our services.
Temple members are entitled to seats at no charge, non-members are asked to make at least a $50 donation. Donation cards are placed in the prayer books and in the foyer.

Parking
Parking is usually tight for the High Holiday services. If you plan to drive to services, it is recommended that you arrive in plenty of time to scout out legal spaces in the municipal lots on either side of Main Street, as well as along Main Street and West Foster Street. While the time limit for these spaces is only 2 hours, we do make special arrangements with the City to overlook the time constraint on these days. Please note that parking is NOT permitted on East Foster Street. As for Leonard Road, parking is permitted ONLY on the right curb, but not in front of driveways, and not so driveways are blocked. Also, our Leonard Road neighbors would appreciate if you not park on the grass near our kitchen-side entrance.
Children at High Holiday Services
Children are welcome at Temple services. If they are too young or choose not to participate appropriately during the service, there are classrooms available for you and them. We ask that you ensure that any articles used by your children are put back in their proper place, and that any mess made by your children is cleaned up before leaving the Temple. You should allow some extra time at the conclusion of the service to fulfill this important responsibility.
Parents of young children should seat themselves closest to the Shalom School Annex near the back of the Sanctuary, in order to facilitate in responding to your child’s needs. Parents should not allow their children to frequently enter and exit the classrooms and Sanctuary, as it is a distraction to other congregants. All other congregants should leave the seats closest to Shalom School Annex available for parents of young children. No one should enter or leave the Sanctuary when the Congregation is standing and everyone should follow the direction of ushers who are available to assist in seating latecomers in an orderly fashion.
The TBS Governing Council, Rabbi Fertig and Cantorial Soloist Beth Purcell which you a very happy and healthy New Year. L’Shannah Tovah!
