Respecting Holiness

We request that all attendees dress appropriately to maintain the sanctity of these holy days. The TBE Sanctuary is a special place for spiritual connection, reflection, and prayer. We ask that during High Holy Day services, congregants refrain from wearing tank tops, spaghetti straps, mini-skirts, shorts, or T-shirts during our High Holy Day Services. Gentlemen, no shorts, please. Suggested attire for men would be suits, jackets, or blazers. It is also customary to wear white on Yom Kippur Day.
Please turn your cell phone off or place it on vibrate and refrain from social conversations once the service begins.

High Holy Days / Kol Nidre Donations

​We do not charge for High Holy Days seating but instead rely on the generosity of those who attend our services.  This makes it possible to keep our doors open all year round and to serve the entire Jewish population in Manatee County.   Whether you attend in person or virtually, please be especially generous with your Yizkor and High Holy Days/Kol Nidre donations. 

​

Break-the-fast is on your own with family and friends.
