High Holy Days

We are thrilled to be able to host In-Person High Holy Day Services as well as offer our Live Stream for those who would prefer to watch services from home. 

Everyone who wishes to participate In-Person must pre-register. We will not be mailing tickets, rather we will check everyone in as they arrive for services. If you are planning on bringing non-members as your guests, please fill out our Guest Registration Form. 

If you will be visiting CBE for the High Holy Days and are a member of another Reform congregation in good standing or if you are a member of CBE looking to attend High Holy Day services elsewhere, please complete the URJ's Courtesy Seating Request Form. 

Before you register for any services or programs, we encourage everyone to read over the most recently updated Covid Protocols.

If you require any assistance or have any questions, please give us a call at the office (518) 436-9761 x221 or 222.
