What to know upon Arrival FOR HIGH HOLY DAYS
Mask Policy:
Wearing a mask is now optional for all services and events at Temple Hillel B’nai Torah. While we do not require members or guests to wear a mask, KN95 masks will be available in the lobby for anyone who wishes to use one.
Health & Safety Precautions:
If you do not feel well, we kindly ask you to stay home to ensure the safety of our community.
For those who cannot attend in person, a zoom link we be sent to you, as long as you have registered in advance.
We remain committed to providing a safe and welcoming environment for all our members and guests.
The sanctuary will have several HEPA filters placed throughout the room, as well as our upgraded HVAC system, completely filtering the air at least once per hour.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
Sanctuary seating: We do not have assigned seats for the Holy Days. If you need any kind of accommodations, please contact Benita: 617-323-0486
Music: There will be guitar throughout our High Holy Day services. The HBT band will be helping to lead prayers at the beginning of the Rosh Hashanah Day 1 service - make sure to come on time so you don’t miss them!
HBT is a Fragrance Free Facility
We would like our space to be safe for those with sensitivities and allergies to fragrances, so please refrain from wearing fragrances and strongly scented products when entering the HBT building.
Name Tags
If you have registered to be with us in person for the High Holy Days, your name tag will be ready in a badge holder when you arrive at HBT. Name tags make for a friendly environment and help with security. Please keep your name tag on at all times while in the building.
Name tags will be located at a table on the sidewalk in front of the main entrance.
Name tags will be organized by LAST name in alphabetical order. Member and Non-Member tags will be separate.
Announce your name to the greeter at the table, who will then give you your name tag.
Proceed to the lobby doors where a greeter will check that you are wearing your name tag and welcome you inside.
Children
We love your children, and they are welcome anywhere that Jewish prayer and ritual is happening! See the schedule for programming info. If you are interested in free childcare for kids under 8, when registering either online or via mail, fill out the Childcare RSVP Form, or if your plans have changed, email HBT member Janna or come down to the Social Hall to sign in the day of the service.
If you want to volunteer to provide childcare, please fill out the Childcare Volunteer Form.
We also have aged-based children & teen programming on the first day of Rosh Hashanah and on Yom Kippur.
