Attending High Holy Day Services Away from Home
The URJ suggests that when space allows, members of URJ congregations
in good standing who will be traveling during the High Holy Days be
welcomed to worship at fellow URJ and WUPJ congregations. Please note
that High Holy Day seating is based on the discretion of the host
congregation and is not intended as URJ policy. These forms are to be
completed by the visiting congregation and submitted directly to the
destination congregation. Further instructions are on each form. Any
additional information, including verification of an individuals good
standing and confirmation of seating availability, is to be communicated
directly between the visiting and host congregations.
