G’mar chatimah tova. On the tenth day of the new Jewish year, we observe Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. From the stirring Kol Nidre prayers to the closing of the gates of Heaven during Neilah, Yom Kippur is a time of self-reflection, seeking forgiveness, and renewing our spirits.
As a reminder, Temple members in good standing should have received their complimentary tickets on August 17.
Not a Temple member? Purchase guest tickets for Seattle services or Bellevue services.
We strongly encourage guests to purchase tickets in advance. Please order by September 9 for Rosh Hashanah and by September 18 for Yom Kippur. Space at our Bellevue campus is limited and tickets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Yom Kippur begins at sundown on Sunday, September 20. We hope you’ll join us in community for the holiest day on the Jewish calendar. See our Yom Kippur service offerings below.
Services on both campuses will be musical in nature, with the Classic service featuring cantorial accompaniment and more traditional melodies, while the Contemporary service blends familiar liturgy with contemporary music.
