Planning for High Holy Days
Guest Entries
Members of Congregation Beth Israel may obtain guest entries for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services by making the standard contribution using the online form here.
The deadline to purchase guest entries and receive them by mail is Friday, July 24. Guest entries may be purchased after this date but will only be available for pick-up at the Temple. Pick-up details will be provided closer to the High Holy Days.
If you have questions about guest entries, please contact the Temple at 713-771-6221 or info@beth-israel.org.
Book of Remembrance
This year, the Book of Remembrance will be distributed at our Yom Kippur Yizkor Memorial Service on Monday, September 21.
To submit your listing, please complete our online form here. First, indicate if you would like us to use the same names that appeared in last year’s Book of Remembrance. For your convenience, the form includes a link to last year’s book so you can review your previous submission. Then, in the dropdown menu, select the number of lines you wish to purchase.
The deadline for Book of Remembrance submissions is Friday, August 14. If you have any questions regarding your submission, please contact Michael Kirstein, Cemetery Director, at mkirstein@beth-israel.org or 713-771-6221.
