High Holy Day Ticket Information

Are High Holy Day tickets required? 
Yes, and remember to bring a photo ID.

When will tickets be received?
Tickets and High Holy Day information will be mailed the first week of September to all member families in good standing. 

What if tickets are not received in time?
Tickets should arrive on time. If not, membership lists are available, and a day pass can be issued if the account is in good standing. 

How can one verify if their membership account is in good standing? 
Accounts paid up through June 2024 are in good standing. If not, tickets will be held until the account is in good standing. The last statement should be checked for details.

How can an account be brought up to date? 
Payments can be made online, by phone, mailed, or brought to the synagogue. To make arrangements, contact Mindi Stern. Due to high call volumes, emailing is also an option; messages are typically returned within 24 hours on business days.

Can accounts be settled and payments made at the door?
No, payments cannot be processed or accounts cleared on High Holy Days.

What should a Beth Yeshurun member in good standing do if they want to attend services at another congregation? 
A letter of reciprocity can be sent to the other congregation, confirming their membership status and requesting tickets. Contact Mindi Stern to request this letter. The other congregation will determine if they can accommodate the request. 

How can a member of another congregation obtain tickets for Beth Yeshurun High Holy Days?
For those living outside Houston, their home congregation should email a letter of reciprocity to Mindi Stern, including confirmation of good standing, the number of tickets requested, and contact information. Beth Yeshurun will follow up to arrange the tickets. Local residents can use their tickets from other synagogues along with a photo ID.

Are tickets available for individuals not affiliated with any congregation but wanting to attend Beth Yeshurun?
Active military, college, and graduate students, both local and those living outside Houston, will be admitted with a photo ID and current student or military ID. For those living outside Houston, tickets are available for a donation of $180 per adult or $54 for adults under 35.  Tickets are not available for purchase for Houston residents; they are encouraged to become members. Contact Mindi Stern for arrangements. 

What are the parking arrangements at Beth Yeshurun?
