Welcome to a truly different set of High Holy Days. We’ve been hard at work, for a little over a month, getting everything ready to offer our full slate of services and observances - entirely online and “as live” - with as high a quality of production as possible (given this effort was undertaken by volunteers with good intentions and “okay” equipment). We have recorded hours of services and congregational participation (readings, announcements, appeals, and more) and are finalizing those services now. You will be able to watch the services on Facebook, YouTube, or this site. Just use the buttons below (or keep scrolling to view on our site) to participate and we suggest reviewing the FAQs and test video early to make sure you can access content as intended.

FREQUENTLY ASKED/ANTICIPATED QUESTIONS
WHEN WILL SERVICES BE AVAILABLE?
ALL general services (Children’s services will be truly live - see emails from the Congregation for details) are scheduled to stream, as live, exactly as details in our schedule (see thumbnails below or check our “calendar” page). You can then stream ANY service “on-demand” for at least the next few weeks.
DO I HAVE TO WATCH SERVICES AS THEY ARE SCHEDULED?
No. While we suggest you join us in real time - we understand your schedule may be complicated and/or you may have some last minute issues with the technology. ALL of our services will be available to stream, when you are ready, any time AFTER they are scheduled to air as live (including immediately after the start time, if you’re running a few minutes late and want to start at the beginning.
DO I NEED TO BE A MEMBER OR HAVE ANY ACCOUNT TO VIEW SERVICES?
No. Our services are available to all - without memberships. You can tap the buttons above to view services on YouTube or Facebook OR scroll lower and you can view services directly on/through this site.
CAN I TEST MY CONNECTION NOW TO MAKE SURE I WILL BE ABLE TO WATCH?
Sure. We put together a “teaser” video, available now on all three streaming places - just tap above (external platforms) or below (our website) to make sure it plays for you. You won’t be able to access any actual services UNTIL their stated “start” time (exactly on the (half) hour). If you don’t see the LIVE videos playing at the stated time - please “refresh” or “reload” your browser - it could be a load issue.
I’M ONLY ABLE TO JOIN BY PHONE. HOW CAN I DO THAT?
You can dial into our Zoom stream using the following information: NUMBER +1 312 626 6799 MEETING ID 316 776 8806 PASSCODE 1885
ARE SERVICES AVAILABLE ON TELEVISIONS OR OTHER DEVICES?
If you have a Chromecast, Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, Apple TV, or other streaming device that is integrated to your Facebook and/or YouTube account - yes. You can stream these services, through the appropriate apps, as you would any other content. Need support? Try this YouTube tutorial or look for specific support within your app(s) and/or hardware. Fair warning - we don’t offer actual tech support through the temple. Sorry.
