High Holiday Volunteers

Volunteer to Help at the High Holiday Services

In our kehillah kedosha, we can fulfill the mitzvah of hachnasat orchim (welcoming guests) in many ways — including serving as a volunteer usher at High Holy Day services. We all know how good it feels when we walk into the sanctuary, having been warmly greeted. During the High Holy Days, our ushers enhance our community’s worship by providing warm greetings to congregants and guests alike; assisting in directing people to prayer books, programs, kipot, tallit, and other worship items; helping parents find a quiet place for restless children during the service; and answering general questions.

If you would like to do more than attend the High Holiday services this year, consider participating as a volunteer usher. Ushers perform important functions, ensuring that services run smoothly and making congregants and visitors alike feel the friendliness that is such an important part of TBZ.

We need ushers for all services, so no matter which services you attend; we can schedule you at a convenient time. The time commitment is 2 hours or less and we have approximately 40 slots to fill.

So before you head off for you summer vacation, please take 2 minutes and sign up to usher for the High Holidays. Sign up online today, it’s easy. Any questions? You can contact Audrey Kadis or the Temple office.
