1 Dear Fellow Congregant: Looking forward to the High Holy Days, we thought you would like an explanation of Temple Israel s High Holy Day ticket process. The Temple offers High Holy Day tickets at reasonable cost to those who support Temple Israel and Judaism by being or becoming dues-paying members. According to the Temple s long-standing practice, we make High Holy Day seats available at no charge to needy individuals and to full-time college students. If a member or non-member of Temple Israel is demonstrably in financial straits, we willingly make special arrangements. To be courteous and fair to everyone, we ask that you consider the following information when ordering your tickets: 1. Each person attending High Holy Day services must have a ticket. Tickets are issued for specific seats (as in a theater,) and you are expected to occupy the seat designated on your ticket. 2. Tickets are non-transferable. 3. Inter-married spouse members and individual members may purchase tickets for themselves, their spouses, and children at the member rate. 4. Each year, all but a few seats are reserved in advance; please do not assume that an unoccupied seat is an available seat. 5. Tickets cannot be purchased for non-relatives at the member rates. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in adhering to the spirit of our ticket process. We are all working diligently to make our High Holy Day services meaningful and dignified. If you have further questions, please call Annette Grubman, The High Holy Day Committee Temple Israel of Riverhead 7 June 2014
