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 mid-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. 

This year we will not be livestreaming the slides of the Mishkan Hanefesh machzor (High Holy Day prayer book). If you want to have a copy of these books at home:
1. You can purchase a new set of machzorim online.
2. You can obtain a used set from Temple Beth El with a donation to the Prayer Book Fund, or borrow a set from Temple Beth El during the High Holy Days. Please contact Sydney Kushner to make arrangements.

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