Click here to see the holiday schedule for the month of Tishrei. The schedule is subject to change. 

Seating for Yamim Noraim

We will have one minyan again this year and are excited to daven together as a community in Ohel Yosef. We are getting ready to finalize numbers for seating and ask that you please click here to register for seats. 
We remind the YIOZ community that all seats for immediate family members are included in family membership. Please pay any outstanding membership at this time, if you have not yet done so. Extended family and all guests are always welcome, with a suggested donation of $250 per seat (or $150 per seat if only attending for Rosh Hashana or Yom Kippur, not both).

We ask ALL MEMBERS and guests to register for seats by September 20th.
After that, we will not be able to guarantee seats for all.

Babysitting

YIOZ will be providing babysitting for toilet trained children, up to 5th grade. All children will be required to be in babysitting or sitting quietly in shul with a parent. Please click here to register

Schedule and pricing is as follows:

Rosh Hashana (10AM- 1PM) - $30 per child per day 

Yom Kippur Day (10AM- 2PM) - $40 per child

​​​​​​Deadline for registration is September 20th.

Yizkor Book

The Yizkor service, remembering departed loved ones, is an important communal commemoration and a deeply personal  experience. YIOZ has the beautiful practice of printing a customized Yizkor book to allow all community members to know the names of those for whom individuals are reciting Yizkor and to remember and think of them as well.

The Yizkor book also provides a fitting way to fulfill Yizkor pledges via a donation to YIOZ in memory of loved ones.  

This year we are reprinting the complete book.  If you would like to include the name of your loved one, please complete the form here.

Sponsorship of $180 includes up to 10 names or you can pay $18 per name. 

Deadline is September 13th.

Kol Haneraim Tallit

While not directly related to Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, the deadlines coincide...

For over a decade we have been using the YIOZ Kol HaNearim tallit, adding a personal element to the beautiful custom of calling all the children and grandchildren in the congregation up for the Kol HaNearim aliyah.

This year, we invite you to join in this beautiful tradition by submitting the names of your children, grandchildren or special visitors to be embroidered on the tallit in time for Simchat Torah.

The cost is $50 per name. Please click here to add names. Please only include only the child's Hebrew name and do not include last names.

Deadline is September 13th.
