Welcome to Yomim Noraim at Ohr Hachaim

We're so glad you'll be joining us for the Yomim Noraim. Please continue reading below for important information regarding this year’s High Holidays at Ohr Hachaim and to reserve your seats.

Minyanim

  • Ohr Hachaim will be offering the following minyanim for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur:
    • Netz Minyan in the Social Hall beginning at 6:15 AM. 
    • Main Minyan in the Main Shul beginning at 8:00 AM.

Seating

  • Early Minyan: Mispallelim in the Early Minyan are welcome to join the Main Shul for other tefillos but will not have reserved seating. To guarantee preferred seating in both minyanim, one is encouraged to submit separate seat reservations for both locations.

Appeal & Fees

  • Membership
    • Ohr Hachaim offers three membership tiers to our kehillah. After 7 years of conscientious effort to keep our fees static, we have rebalanced our dues structure that better fits the makeup of our Shul body. 
    • All families can find their current balance or scheduled payments in your account. Payment plans do not renew automatically. You can start a new plan for this year's dues in your account. 
    • Please note that in order to reserve Yomim Noraim seats your account must be in good standing with all balances paid or on an active payment plan. If you need to resolve a billing issue, please click here to contact our office.

׳׳ותשובה ותפילה וצדקה מעבירין את רוע הגזירה׳׳

Critical Yomim Noraim Appeal: We recognize that membership dues and seat reservations can be a considerable sum for our families. However, the Shul cannot meet our rising costs without additional support from our kehillah. We ask that everyone joining us for the High Holidays contribute with a Yomim Noraim Sponsorship or amount of your choice in support of this urgent appeal. Please donate generously in this great time of need and help inscribe us all for a כתיבה וחתימה טובה.
Thank you for contributing to our Yomim Noraim Appeal. 
יהי רצון שימלא ה׳ כל משאלות לבינו לטובה

We eagerly look towards the feelings of unity and uplifting friendship that we experience when we gather together every Rosh Hashanah. We pray this year brings only nachas, gezunt, and bracha for us and all of Klal Yisrael. From Rabbi Weiss and all of us at Ohr Hachaim, we wish you and your family a wonderful Elul season and כתיבה וחתימה טובה for the coming year.
