We are very excited to be holding our High Holy Days services at the Oshman Family JCC again this year (3921 Fabian Way, Palo Alto). We will be meeting there, except as noted:
Everyone must be preregistered to participate. It is too late to have your name tags mailed to you in time for Rosh HaShanah. Please call 650-813-9094 to make arrangements to pick your name tags up.

It costs many thousands of dollars to hold our High Holy Days services at a venue big enough to accommodate everyone, to rent chairs for everyone, and to get equipment to create a meaningful online experience.  We never want money to be a barrier to participating in any of our programs, but we really do need you to do what you can.
