High Holidays 2023 Guest Registration Form (PDF format)

We invite guests who attend services to donate, so that we can continue to serve the Hudson Valley Jewish community year-round. Suggested contribution levels are found on the form. We are extremely thankful for your support.

Registration deadlines:

• Thursday morning, September 14 for Rosh Hashanah
• Friday morning, September 22 for Yom Kippur

Given the large number of people who will be gathering, we're setting aside a section of the sanctuary where masks will be required. We ask everyone to be mindful of any symptoms of illness and to refrain from attending services if you’re ill.
