Kol Nidre and Yom Kippur at Har Zion
Har Zion members in good standing are automatically eligible for High Holy Day tickets; pick them up from the usher station when you arrive for your first High Holy Day service. Most others must purchase tickets.
As all Har Zion services, Kol Nidre and the Yom Kippur services will be livestreamed on Facebook and YouTube, and you can also sign up to join on Zoom. (Members will receive the Zoom information automatically by email, and non-members when they obtain tickets.)
