High Holidays
There are many High Holiday options available in Brooklyn and while Altshul is not running its own services, we wanted to call your attention to some of the neighborhood options. Below are descriptions of services at our host congregation, Beth Elohim, and an alternative service that has specifically invited Altshul members.

7.    Congregation Beth Elohim

Congregation Beth Elohim hosts 4 different services for the high holidays to which Altshulers are invited:

• The Sanctuary service is led by Rabbi Andy Bachman and Cantor Janet Leuchter.
• The Youth and Family Service is geared toward Yachad (Religious School) families with children ages 6-18 and their parents.
• The Tots Service will be mostly families who participate in the regular Tot Shabbat program, geared toward children under 5.
• The Brooklyn Jews service is geared towards unaffiliated Jews in their 20s and 30s.

Please note that musical instruments will likely be played at each of these services.

For more information and to reserve your ticket, call the CBE office at 718-768-3814.

8.    KANE STREET ALTERNATIVE SERVICE – DISCOUNT TICKETS FOR ALTSHUL MEMBERS

Back by popular demand, Joey Weisenberg (an Altshul friend) will be running an alternative service for the Kane Street Synagogue in Carroll Gardens. The service will be full of singing and will follow the complete traditional liturgy. Taking place at a venue at Bergen & Courts Streets, it is geared towards a diverse age group and will be a family friendly environment.

As has been the tradition in the last couple of years, the Kane Street Synagogue has generously offered discounted tickets of $125 to Altshulers (covering both Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur). A limited number of tickets at this price are available directly from Kane Street. Please contact Linda Mahler at 718-875-1550 and identify yourself as an "Altshul member."  Altshulers are strongly encouraged to buy tickets by July 30 in order to get this discounted rate and ensure that you get a ticket.

Joey is looking for help organizing and leading various aspects of High Holidays. If you are interested in helping to Gabbai, read Torah, or assist in any way, please contact him directly at joeywei...@gmail.com.
