Dear Members

Every year, a great many people are involved in the planning and organising of our beautifulservices. For your enjoyment I therefore urge you to read the information below as some, or all,may be helpful to you at some stage over the High Holyday period.

We will have a limited number of parking permits which can be purchased from the SynagogueOffice. You are only able to display a maximum of four hours at a time, after this it will benecessary to move your car and display another four hours of vouchers. Full details to followoverleaf.

Security remains an absolute priority and admission to the services is by ticket only. Your ticketsare enclosed. It should be noted that these tickets are named and numbered and are nottransferable. Tickets do not represent a reserved seat as all members have the same right tochoose their seats, as at our weekly services. It is advisable to sit in the front section of thesanctuary if you wish to take advantage of our hearing loop system.

To preserve decorum there will be no admission to the main service when the Ark is open, duringthe sermons, silent prayers and Mazkir on Yom Kippur. Ushers will be at the door to advise youwhen it is appropriate to enter the sanctuary and they will direct you to available seats.

We will try to organise transport for those members who have difficulty attending services. If youwould like assistance, or can offer lifts please contact the synagogue office.

Youth Services will be held during the morning services in the hall. As seating is limited we will onlybe able to admit adults if space is available and they have their own ticket for the main service.

As usual we will have a crèche for the under 6s, which will include special services. There is noneed to reserve a place, just turn up and sign in your kids!

As well as normal opening hours, the synagogue office will be open between 10.00-12.00 noon onSunday 17 September to enable you to collect prayer books, parking vouchers and visitor ticketswhich have been pre-booked.

Anyone who comes on to the Bimah for an Aliyah, Ark opening or to take part in the service will
