You may register online by clicking here or calling the office (941-755-4900).  Whether you register by phone or online, the following information will be required:  name of each individual in your party, address, phone number, and e-mail address of the head of household (if you have e-mail), and which services you plan on attending. We encourage online registration if possible.

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.
