Do I have to be a member to receive High Holy Day tickets?

I have a special needs child. Can they become a Bar/Bat Mitzvah?
- At Temple Avodat Shalom we believe that the RITE of Bar and Bat Mitzvah is the RIGHT of all children, including children with special challenges. With this goal in mind, we offer different options for our special needs children. Every child has strengths and challenges. At Temple Avodat Shalom Religious School we are committed to providing the best Jewish educational experience possible for all children.

Are children welcome at worship services?
- Always! We believe having children enhances our worship service and all are encouraged to attend. During the year, each grade from our school will play an integral part of our service. For the High Holy Days, our Youth Group runs services geared toward our younger children.
