Dear Temple Members and Friends: Looking forward to the High Holy Days, we thought you would like an explanation of Temple Israel s High Holy Day ticket process. With membership, families receive two adult tickets and tickets for all children under age 21. Additional tickets for children over the age of 21 may be purchased for $100 each. Tickets for other adult family members are available at $140 each. Non-members may purchase tickets at $350 each. According to the Temple s long-standing practice, we make High Holy Day seats available at no charge to needy individuals, full-time college students, and active military personnel. To be courteous and fair to everyone, we ask that you consider the following information when ordering your tickets: 1. Each person attending High Holy Day services must have a ticket. Tickets are issued for specific seats (as in a theater,) and you are expected to occupy the seat designated on your ticket. 2. Tickets are non-transferable. 3. Inter-married spouse members and individual members may reserve tickets for themselves, their spouses, and their children. 4. Each year, all but a few seats are reserved in advance; please do not assume that an unoccupied seat is an available seat. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in adhering to the spirit of our ticket process. We are all working diligently to make our High Holy Day services meaningful and dignified. If you have further questions, please call the temple office, 631 727-3191. The High Holy Day Committee Temple Israel of Riverhead 11 September 2017
