Temple Israel of Catskill has always been proud of welcoming everyone to our synagogue. However, during the High Holy Days, our priority is to seat members and their guests; because of space limitations, we will not be selling tickets directly to nonmembers this year.
One of the benefits of membership are complimentary and guaranteed seating at all of the High Holy Day services, as well as the ability to purchase tickets for extended family and guests. Please reserve space if you plan to attend Rosh Hashanah Eve and Morning services and/or Kol Nidre and Yom Kippur morning services - and purchase tickets for your guests - so we can make sure everyone is accommodated and comfortable. Names of registrants and ticket holders will be checked at the door, and photo identification may be requested as a security measure.
If you have any problems registering, please contact etempleisraelofcatskill@gmail.com or call/text Michael Alterman, at 646-265-2291.
Membership renewal:
This rate includes a 3% service charge. If you would like to pay by check and not charge the 3% contact templeisraelofcatskill@gmail.com for instructions
Yizkor Book
A Yizkor Book is a way of keeping alive the memories of those we love. It will be distributed on Yom Kippur for the Yizkor service and used at other Yizkor services throughout the year, as we remember our loved ones.
To have the names of your loved ones included in this book, please fill in one of the following forms, along with your donation, NO LATER THAN SEPTEMBER 7TH.
This is a beautiful way to share the light and love of those who have passed.
