If you are interested in joining us for the High Holy Days this year, you will require a ticket to attend our services. Members of Congregation Darchei Noam receive High Holy Day tickets at no extra charge. Non-members can purchase tickets at the following prices: $300 each for adults, $90 each for children and students aged 7-24, and $30 for childcare tickets for infants aged 1-6. Children who are under the age of 7 and who don't need childcare do not require tickets. You can request our tickets by downloading, completing and submitting the forms provided above, or call the office to order by phone (416-638-4783).
Darchei Noam’s booklet of “Supplementary Readings for the High Holy Days” will be available as usual for all attending services.
To reduce the amount of paper used for the booklet this year, we are offering links to selected articles, readings and poems to enhance your understanding and appreciation of the various themes and concepts we encounter at this important time of year.
In order not to disturb others, and in order to preserve the kavanah of the High Holy Day prayers, please do not bring any portable electronic communication devices to services. If you find any selections on our website that can enhance your High Holy Day experience, we ask that you print these out at home and bring the print-outs with you to synagogue for private reading and reflection during t’filot.
