High Holidays
HIGH HOLIDAYS AT HTAA 5784 (2023)
On this webpage you will find everything you need for the High Holidays this year.
Important things to note:
- This year we have open-choice seating in the sanctuary for all High Holiday services. If you require special seating for wheelchair access or because of a disability, please speak with the office before the deadline to make the necessary arrangements.
- Masks are not required, but you are welcome to wear one. If Montgomery County changes their policies regarding COVID-19, we will amend our policy to follow current recommended guidelines.
- We have a separate order form listed below for the Yizkor Book this year. We hope to include relationships in the booklet. Please make sure we have accurate information for your listing. You must complete the form before the deadline for your information to be included.
-
As the New Year approaches, an important issue we would like to emphasize is that your yearly membership dues, aside from providing you with free seats at the High Holidays, also help to sustain the synagogue in many ways. Your membership supports the synagogue staff and allows them to maintain the building in good working order. It allows for the planning of engaging programming and for care and outreach to members during life cycle events.
Even with full-paying memberships, not all our expenses are covered at the synagogue. We also depend on those families that have the means to donate more to help keep the lights on. For those families that can generously support us we have three higher levels of membership: Donor ($4,200), Patron ($7,350) and Benefactor ($10,000). At these higher levels you are entitled to additional free High Holiday seats and Yizkor Book listings. In addition, your higher-level membership will include an opportunity to join us for a Sponsorship Dinner. Please call the office before completing the High Holiday forms if you would like to change your membership level to become a Donor, Patron, or Benefactor. Your support of the synagogue is greatly appreciated.
- You must submit required payments for the forms to register your information. Please call the office if you have any questions, if you need assistance completing forms, or if you need to make special payment arrangements. 301-649-3800.
