SEAT REQUESTS AND TICKETS

If you plan on attending services for part or all of the High Holidays, please let us know as soon as possible so that we may ensure your seating.  Once again we are pleased to offer complimentary High Holiday tickets to all members whose 2015 membership dues have been paid in full.  All member families are entitled to two complimentary tickets while individual members are entitled to one ticket. Members who are receiving complimentary seats should still request their seats so we know to expect you and assign you a seat.

HIGH HOLIDAY APPEAL

While we are truly appreciative of the generosity of our Kehillah throughout the year and at the Annual Gala, the High Holidays are an opportune time to reflect on and reaffirm your commitment to WSIS.

It is your generous support that allows us to provide a warm, accepting and spiritual Jewish home fueled by inspiring Torah, beautiful prayer and innovative programming, and we hope we can count on you again this year. 

Once again, in lieu of auctioning off Aliyot or a public appeal, this appeal will serve as our primary High Holiday fundraiser. Please participate in our “Scroll of Honor” by giving to our campaign.

If you would like to participate, please fill out the form below or call the office at (212) 877-7652. You may also send in a check with "High Holiday Appeal" written in the memo line.

This form is not active.
