GUEST CONTACT INFORMATION









Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are right around the corner. Beth Emet offers services both in-person and livestreamed for you to choose from — in our Sanctuary, in your homes, or a combination of both.  Our value of hospitality - hachnasat orchim - continues throughout these holidays to members, family and friends.  


As we welcome all those who plan to worship in-person, we continue to emphasize the importance of knowing one another's names.  We will again be using name badge inserts in plastic badge holders; lanyards will be available when you arrive for services.  


Name badge inserts (tickets) will be available between September 8 and September 20 at the synagogue to members in good standing.  To receive your badges, you must pay at least 25% of your total membership commitment as well as all past balances from prior years.  Beth Emet does not turn anyone away from services who is not in a position to pay. If you need to make financial arrangements, please contact Jody Litwack.  


Please note: name badge inserts will not be mailed to your home.  


1. Members in good standing who also have children in Beit Sefer may pick up badges from the synagogue on September 8 during the afterschool tailgate luncheon;

2. All members in good-standing may pick up badges Monday-Friday from 9-3 in the front office until September 20; and 

3. Any badges not picked up before September 20 may be picked up at the will-call table during services.  


Please also consider sponsorship opportunities for the High Holy Days as a important way to live our values while ensuring that we can defray the costs associated with the holidays.  Your contribution makes a difference.  


Below are opportunities to:

  1. make a donation
  2. request additional name badge(s) and/or links to participate virtually
  3. sign up for volunteer opportunities 
  4. submit names for the Yizkor (memorial) book
  5. purchase a machzor (prayerbook)
  6. purchase a lulav and etrog set (for Sukkot)

If you require assistance in filling out the form, please contact the office or call 847-869-4230 (ext. 0).  


Wishing you a wonderful and healthy 5785!  L'shanah Tovah!

Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are right around the corner. Our value of hospitality - hachnasat orchim - continues through these holidays, offering worship services to all in our community - including guests who have not yet joined but want to make Beth Emet their home for the holidays in-person or live-streamed. Beth Emet welcomes you, and we never turn anyone away from services who are not in a position to pay. That said, your sponsorship for the High Holy Days is one important way in which to live our values while ensuring that we can defray the costs associated with the holidays.  Your contribution makes a difference.  


As we welcome all those who choose to worship in-person, we continue to emphasize the importance of knowing one another's names.  We will again be using name badge inserts, and will have lanyards available when you arrive for services.

Badges not picked up before September 20 will be available at the will-call table during services.  All donations must be paid in full before you receive badges or links to services.  Should you have any questions, please contact Debbie Gilbert or call 847-869-4230 (ext. 302)

SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

We rely on the generosity of our members to support our High Holy Day worship services and programs. Our goal is to raise $50,000 which will allow us to continue to offer hybrid technology and other ways to ensure that our holiday participation is meaningful, secure, and beautiful. And while non-member tickets were a significant source of revenue pre-pandemic, we are now providing the opportunity for guests to access the High Holy Days with a suggested donation. Your support helps to defray these significant costs.

GUEST SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

We extend an invitation to the larger community to worship with us, and while we do not charge $250 per ticket for non-members as we did pre-pandemic, we do provide the opportunity for all our guests to access the High Holy Days with a suggested donation. Please consider a donation as your way in which to support the community and help us cover the expenses that we incur to provide worship services and programs. Please note that your contribution will be applied towards a first year introductory membership, should you choose to join. Our goal this year is to raise $50,000 which will allow us to continue to offer hybrid technology and ensure that our holiday participation is meaningful, secure, and beautiful. We can make this possible through your generous support which allows us to open and expand our home to those such as yourself who wish to be a part of our community.
