We look forward to you and your family joining us for the High Holy Days. Because we want to insure seating for all who wish to attend, many of our High Holy Day services are held downtown at the Civic Theatre and in the Copper Room of Golden Hall (adjacent to the Civic Theatre). Only services held in these off-site locations will require tickets, which are free for CBI members and available to purchase for nonmembers. This is the only time during the year when we use tickets for attendance at worship services.

We know that many Jews in San Diego are not affiliated with a synagogue, but would like an opportunity to worship at the High Holy Days. For information and tickets, please contact , Executive Director, or , at 858-535-1111 ext. 3126. Note: Students and active duty military personnel will be given tickets at no charge, at the Civic Theatre, upon presentation of a valid student, or military identification card. No reservations are required.

Are You Alone for the Holy Days? New to Our Congregation?
Many of our members have families too far away or no family at all to be with during the High Holy Day Services. Are you new to our CBI family and wish to meet other members with whom to share High Holy Day Services? Or, are you a member wishing to invite a new member to share the High Holy Days with you and your family? Please contact Susan Hutchison at 858-535-1111, ext. 3116, or Bonnie Graff at 858-535-1111, ext. 3128.

Reciprocal Agreements for High Holy Days Worship
Will you be out of town during the High Holy Days and plan to attend worship services at a Reform synagogue elsewhere? We may be able to assist you through a reciprocal agreement we have with Union for Reform Judaism synagogues throughout North America. Likewise, if you belong to a Reform synagogue in another town and wish to worship with us in San Diego, please call us at 858 535-1111, ext. 3126.
