High Holy Days 5786

TBE offers progressive, egalitarian worship with a comfortable mix of Hebrew and English. 

Members in good standing will receive their High Holy Day entry cards in the mail in early September. If you have any questions, please contact Executive Director Stefanie Kushner at exec@tbemadison.org. 

Nonmembers and those requesting reciprocity must fill out the nonmember registration for in-person seating or to request a livestream link. Advance registration is required for nonmembers and guests. 

High Holy Day worship will continue to be livestreamed on YouTube.

All members will receive the link to view the livestream. Nonmembers will be provided access for a suggested donation. 

Our worship uses the Mishkan Hanefesh machzor (High Holy Day prayer book). If you want to have a copy of these books at home, you can purchase a set of machzorim online.

Find our accessibility measures and visitor guide on our in-person information page.
