Where to find cheap high holy day tickets [VIDEO]

Posted by Jay Firestone

By Rebecca Steinberger, Multimedia Intern

Got New Year’s plans? Celebrating Rosh Hashanah this year might depend heavily on what services are within budget. The high cost of synagogue tickets will result in many people looking for alternative and affordable services. There are other options out there and it is only a matter of searching. Many places are requesting donations, but regardless won’t turn anyone away.

Rosh Hashanah encompasses the idea of community. In order to bring in the new year, one doesn’t have to be within the walls of the synagogue or regretting how much was spent on seats when there isn’t much sitting involved. Chabad requests donations anywhere between $100 to $200 to reserve a seat. For services at Hillel at UCLA tickets are $100 for those 35-years-old and under. JConnectLA is holding services and a meal for $25 and the West Valley JCC has services for $36 and under.

This year should be about finding your community. Happy New Year!

Any synagogue worthy of the name will allow any jew to hear the blowing of the shofar and the service no matter whether they have a ticket or not. Some synagogues provide a far corner or, if they are not orthodox, a sound system outside.

I know of other upstarts offering a modest service and study session and a pot luck lunch on Rosh Hashana.  Please be in touch for details!

This year we have no money. I’ve been unemployed for over a year.  All jews should be welcome into temple (shul) for Rosh Hashannah—it should not be something to feel ashamed about because we dont have money for tickets. This year we will stay home. I’m not going to try to sneak into some shul without tickets only to be turned away at the door. Where are the mitzvahs. How very sad.

I miss Art hosting Coast to Coast. He knew how to nvreviiew and talk to people. That idiot George hasn’t a clew. Ever noticed how when he conducts an interview, he has to be the smartest one in the room, though most of the time he’s completly wrong? George, interrupting your guests. Let them tell their story!
