***Area Synagogues Offer Free High Holiday Tickets

Jewish families who are new to the area can find a home for the High Holidays with the help of the EZ Key program offered by Synagogue Leadership Initiative of the Jewish Federation of Northern New Jersey.

Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur arrive quickly, and reservations are already underway for people who want to attend High Holiday services for free. Tickets are available at more than 30 synagogues—representing Conservative, Independent, Orthodox, and Reform streams of Judaism.

“The High Holidays are a time when all Jews want to connect to the community, and for the fourth year, the Synagogue Leadership Initiative’s EZ Key Program will help new members of the northern New Jersey community do just that,” said Lisa Harris Glass, Federation’s Managing Director, Community Planning and Impact.

This year, Rosh Hashanah begins at sundown on September 24, and Yom Kippur begins at sundown on October 3. Because demand for tickets is high, Federation encourages participants to sign up early so that their requests can be honored.

The offer for free tickets is a one-time offer per individual or family (some restrictions apply), and ends on September 19.

Families who have lived in the area two years or less can visit the EZ Key website at: www.jfnnj.org/holidaytickets .

Note: Those who are not eligible for EZ Key free tickets but who are looking for High Holiday tickets may also inquire through the EZ Key website.
