High Holiday FAQs:
The following is a reprint of the High Holidays FAQs distributed by United Synagogue of Hoboken this year. These guidelines are intended especially for the United Synagogue of Hoboken. Different communities will likely have different schedules and different policies.
Q: What time should I arrive?
A: As is the case in most traditional synagogues, not everyone is expected to be present when the preliminary services begin at 9 am. People make their own decisions about how much of each service to attend. (Note that at some points during the High Holidays, the synagogue is full and there is standing room only; your chances of getting a seat increase when you arrive earlier.)
Here are some suggestions to bear in mind when you’re planning your own personal High Holidays schedule:
· The Rosh Hashanah evening services last no more than one hour.
· Rosh HaShanah morning services begin at 9 am with the preliminary service. The Torah service begins around 10:15 am. The rabbi’s sermon is likely to be around 11:15 am.
· The primary symbol of Rosh HaShanah is the Shofar. The blowing of the Shofar is likely to take place around 11 am on both days of Rosh HaShanah.
· When we say that Kol Nidrei services for the evening of Yom Kippur begin at 5:30pm sharp, we’re not kidding! The Kol Nidrei prayer actually must be recited before Yom Kippur actually begins, so it is recited before sunset. The Yom Kippur evening service should conclude at about 8:30 pm and tends to be one of the points of peak attendance.
