The Union for Reform Judaism suggests, where space allows, that those member(s) in good standing at Union congregations who will be in another community during the High Holy Days be welcomed to worship. Due to space restrictions, not all congregations may be able to offer seats to guests.
For those who are seated as a courtesy, it is always appropriate, and in keeping with the spirit of the High Holy Days, to make a donation to the reciprocating congregation.
For High Holy Day Courtesy Seating forms, please email pstarkman@urj.org.
