Admission to all High Holiday services is free of charge for members with accounts in good standing. We will not be issuing physical tickets; however, due to ongoing security measures, we will be confirming names via member lists at our entrances.
For non-members who would like to attend, as well as guests of members in good standing, additional RSVPs are available for purchase. Please contact Ben Wecht at bwecht@adatshalompgh.org or 412-820-7000 to discuss additional registrations.
Parking in the front of the building is reserved for those with disabilities. All others are asked to park in the rear parking lot. Leadership Circle members will be able to park in designated spots closest to the ramp facing the building.
As in recent years, we will be livestreaming our High Holiday services via Zoom. Links and further information will follow. If you are interested in attending one or more services remotely, please let us know so that we may add you to our list.
Babysitting will be available for a charge of $36 per child, regardless of number of services attended. More information will be made available soon.
As the High Holy Days approach, Adat Shalom is preparing a Book of Remembrance for our Yizkor services. Including the names of our deceased loved ones is a meaningful way to honor their memory.
For a minimum contribution of $36.00, up to 5 lines of names of the departed may be listed. Each additional line will be priced at $3.00. The books are used for all the Yizkor services throughout the year. We will be carrying over names from last year's book.
