Shabbat and HH rehearsal Schedule
Chochmat HaLev Site High Holiday Webpage
Special Information for Musicians
For services, please dress in white(ish).
Men please remember kippah/head covering.
Women please observe traditional concept of modesty in dress. If you are not sure what that means talk to me and I can be more graphic (:
Yom Kippur is a fast day, so if you are not fasting, please take care not to eat or drink in front of the congregation- thank you!! Also, on Yom Kippur it is traditional practice not to wear leather, so often folks will wear canvas sneakers or similar footwear. Going shoeless is also fine.
TICKETS AND MEALS AND CHILDCARE
You must register for meals, childcare, tickets for guests and extra tickets for yourselves. Please scroll to the very bottom of this page for more details on how to do that.
In brief, every musician/service leader is entitled to one free ticket for a guest. Musicians not playing/singing on all services are entitled to tickets to any of the other services they are not playing/singing on. There will be lunch after RH day 1 and dinner Erev YK, but you need to register for these. You can bring guests to these meals for $10 per guest. If you have more questions, email AJ- alicejanepell@gmail.com.
Now please scroll to the bottom to register for what you need- thanks!
