The High Holy Days are a time for the whole family, and we are excited to be offering a rich program for our youngest members, including dedicated services and child-minding on both days of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. These programs are always in high demand; ensure your child doesn't miss out by registering ASAP.

We are expecting record numbers this year, and with limited space in our sanctuaries, we must prioritise our members. You have received this link because your Emanuel Synagogue membership is current, and you are eligible to secure tickets for High Holy Days services. Tickets are not transferable. If you have loved ones who would like to join you, please ensure they, too, are current members.

If you have any questions or require assistance, please email info@emanuel.org.au or call (02) 9389 6444. We look forward to sharing this sacred time with you.

Tots' Services are suitable for ages 2-4 years old, and any younger children must be accompanied by a parent.
Children’s Services and activities are suitable for children aged 5-11 years old.
