Community Information

Order forms and information for High Holiday tickets and Yizkor book listings have been mailed to all members. Tickets are $118 each. Please note that all outstanding balances must be paid and overdue library books returned before tickets can be issued.  If you haven’t received your packet or if you have any questions, contact the synagogue office.

Many Beth Sholomites are away on vacation during the summer months, and it is sometimes difficult for us to make a minyan. Please join us in the Beit HaMidrash at 8 p.m. whenever you can to help us maintain our daily minyan. If you will be away on your assigned night, please try to find a substitute. Your participation would also be appreciated on Friday evenings at 6:45 p.m., at Shabbat minhah, on Monday and Thursday mornings at 8:10 a.m., on Tuesday mornings at 7 a.m., on Wednesday and Friday mornings at 8:15 a.m., and on Sunday mornings at 9 a.m.

Parallel Minyan is on hiatus for the summer and will resume in the fall.

Please take all personal belongings left in the cloak room, in a classroom, or elsewhere in the building as we clean out the synagogue during the summer. Unclaimed items will be discarded by the end of August. We appreciate your cooperation; please contact the synagogue office for assistance or with any questions.
