Chadesh Yameinu K’Kedem – Renew Us As In Days of Old
In this season of renewal and tradition, we embrace both the old and the new. We will be uplifted by familiar melodies and prayers, our usual rhythm of learning and song, and worship and schmoozing, the faces and voices of our community surrounding us. And we are thrilled to gather in our beautiful new building, creating new memories, and discovering how our new space will spiritually inspire us and spark new insight and depth of meaning within us.
We cannot wait to welcome each of you into our new home for these High Holy Days.
All registration will be done through ShulCloud. Registration is open to all members now, and will open to the community for guests and community members on August 11. High Holy Day tickets will be emailed in early September through SimpleTix. Please note that you will not receive your tickets immediately after submitting your registration.
Member Tickets
Tickets are required to attend all High Holy Day services. These tickets are complimentary with your 2026–2027 Temple Chai membership for you and your immediate family. Tickets are available to all members in good standing, meaning your 2026–2027 membership dues and fees have been paid or an active payment arrangement is in place. Questions about your membership status can be directed to Wendy Cohen at wcohen@templechai.com.

At Temple Chai, the custom is for each congregant to own a High Holy Days Machzor.
Mishkan HaNefesh consists of a set of two books.
Mishkan HaNefesh will be used for Erev Rosh Hashanah services, Morning services on Rosh Hashanah, Kol Nidre, Morning Services on Yom Kippur, Yizkor, and N’ilah.
Each person brings their own prayer books to High Holy Day Services.
You will need your GOLD prayer book for Rosh Hashanah and your SILVER prayer book for Yom Kippur.
