High Holiday FAQ
Can nonmembers purchase tickets?
Nonmembers are welcome to purchase a OnePass for all High Holiday services or individual tickets for each evening or day of services.
Do I need a mask? Proof of vaccination?
We will work to ensure as safe an experience as possible for all. We encourage you to wear a mask if you so desire. We will revise our policies if mandated by a government agency.
How do I get additional tickets?
Congregants may purchase additional OnePasses or individual tickets for family members. Please call 415.346.1720, x117 for more information.
What accessibility accommodations are in place?
Congregation Sherith Israel wants everyone to be able to participate fully and comfortably in all that we offer. Our synagogue has an accessible entrance (through the Newman building), an elevator, and accessible restrooms. In the main sanctuary, we have an assistive listening system, large print prayer books, and designated space for wheelchair users and their companions. During busy times, we offer a “quiet room” for people of all ages who need time away from the group. We welcome service animals.
If you need any other accommodation, please contact development@sherithisrael.org or 415.346.1720, x117.

My friend is visiting and belongs to a URJ synagogue elsewhere. Can they get tickets?
Congregation Sherith Israel welcomes all members of URJ congregations at no cost. You can request a URJ reciprocity form be sent to Sherith Israel from your friend's home congregation or have their office call ours.
Is there childcare?
We are not offering childcare this year. We encourage children of all ages to join us for services. We are offering shorter, family oriented services on the morning of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.
Where should I park?
While there is street parking in the area, the best bet are the CPMC and Pacific Professional garages. Located at the corner of Clay and Webster, the two garages offer paid parking all week. Click here for more information, public transit and directions.
