High Holiday Welcome Program Provides Free Seats for Holiday Services

Our High Holiday Welcome Program offers unaffiliated individuals and families in Miami-Dade County free seats to holiday services. If you have not yet made plans to attend Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services, we encourage you to join a synagogue and connect with your Jewish community. If that’s not possible at this time, the Greater Miami Jewish Federation and the Rabbinical Association of Greater Miami, along with participating Miami-Dade County synagogues, are offering a limited number of seats at no charge for services in Miami-area synagogues. Advance registration is required and will begin at noon on Wednesday, September 11 online at JewishMiami.org. You may also call 305.373.SEAT from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (4 p.m. on Fridays) through Wednesday, September 25. All denominations are welcome. This program is made possible through donations to the Annual Greater Miami Jewish Federation/UJA Campaign. May 5785 be a sweet and peaceful year for you and your family.
