Providing complimentary High Holy Day tickets to non-members policy

Purpose

The purpose of the Providing complimentary High Holy Day Tickets to non-members Policy is to

affirm Etz Chayim Progressive Synagogue’s commitment to the inclusivity of Jewish and

non-Jewish family and friends in our community.

Policy

Any family or person who expresses a genuine interest in joining Etz Chayim as a member may

be issued a complimentary High Holy Day ticket(s) on a once off basis, based on the following

conditions:

• Name and contact details of the person(s) who are being issued tickets are provided to

the office

• It is recognised that this is a once off opportunity with list from previous year/s checked,

and complimentary tickets refused if non-member has received complimentary tickets in

the past.

Complimentary tickets to members for close relatives

It is the policy of Etz Chayim to welcome non-Jewish partners and children of members at all

festivals, and to enable the families to celebrate the High Holy Days together by issuing

complimentary High Holy Days tickets to non-Jewish partners and children of members. Tickets

for non-Jewish partners should not look different compared to member tickets.

If members wish to have close family who are not PJV members join them for High Holy Days,

they may request complimentary tickets from the office in exchange for a donation. The

donation amount is to be left to the members’ discretion.

Records are to be kept for all non-member complimentary tickets issued and checked each year

for repeat requests.
