High Holidays Tickets and Parking
Please remember that tickets will be required for entry/re-entry at all High Holidays services. Children must be accompanied by their parent/s or guardian/s in order to enter.

Israel/Palestine Discussion
There has been a desire to gauge interest among students, youth, and parents in conversations about Israel/Palestine. If you would like to be part of exploring the complexities of this topic, which could include discussions about Israel/Palestine on college campuses, or how to help your kids navigate this challenging subject in school, or even how to articulate your own feelings, please express your interest here. The Israel Committee, with support from TST staff, will follow up with more information as deemed appropriate in the next months.
