Days of Awe with Kol Tzedek
​
​Absolutely everyone is invited to participate in our High Holiday experience! We ask that members log into the KT Portal, and everyone else can proceed directly to the registration webform linked below.

Please note: walk-up registration will be available, space permitting, but for planning purposes we ask everyone to pre-register. If you do not pre-register, we cannot guarantee you entrance.

We deeply appreciate financial contributions towards the costs of space, labor, materials, food, and other expenses -- and supporting the longevity of our community. The actual cost to KT of High Holidays is approximately $120 per individual. If you're able, please make a sliding scale gift of $18-540 during registration.

Volunteering for the High Holidays

Kol Tzedek's High Holiday services are run almost entirely by our members and volunteers. We are always looking for people to help with registration, usher, greet, help prep food, set up, or clean up. This help is invaluable! And volunteering is a great way to get to know people in the community.

Volunteer for the High Holidays!
