Livestream Links
Due to increased online security concerns, livestream links will no longer be available on the website to the public. Links are listed above, but only visible to members who are logged in and will be included in the members-only section of the website. Links will be emailed to all CDT members. If you do not see the email, please check your spam folder.
All non-members or guests must register by the 10:00 am deadline on Erev Rosh Hashanah and Erev Yom Kippur to be emailed service links. All links are only emailed to the primary email in your registration. If you do not see the email, please check your spam folder.
Links will be sent out on October 11th at approximately 12:00 pm for Yom Kippur services.
Tickets and Payment
It costs CDT approximately $47,500 to bring our High Holyday services to the community. This includes rent, security, technology, children’s programming, additional staff, and food, in addition to CDT staff time. While CDT adult membership includes attendance at High Holydays, we request contributions for non-member partners, children of members, and close relatives, as well as our non-member guests. We are committed to ensuring that finances should never be a barrier to participation, and a sliding scale payment option is included on the High Holydays Registration Form.
Members and guests who register before 12:00 pm on September 26 will have a name tag awaiting you at Gann Academy. This name tag will serve as your "ticket" throughout High Holyday services. Please note that seating will be on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Please see the menu to the right for a detailed service schedule and more information about our High Holydays programming, and read on for information about registration and resources for home celebrations. If you have questions, please email us at highholydays@dorsheitzedek.org.
We are mask-optional — masking is not required, but we will have masks available as well as a mask-only seating section. We welcome all who would prefer to remain masked and keep distanced. Please see our COVID guidelines for more information.
