High Holidays

Dear Tree of Life Family,

As we approach the High Holidays, we are excited to provide a meaningful way to pray and connect to each other, G-d, and our community at large. However you choose to connect with Tree of Life, we hope you will find inspiration and comfort during this time.

The link for viewing all High Holiday services at home will be emailed to all members. Members will not receive physical tickets this year and will check in with a greeter at the entrance, who will have the membership list. Click here to purchase additional tickets or guest tickets.

A pre-recorded High Holiday family video service will be available on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

Below are the guidelines and protocols for our in person services, which will take place at Calvary Episcopal Church:

  • There are no assigned seats. All seating is open seating.
  • Babysitting and children's/youth services will NOT be provided.
  • Masks are optional.

Please feel free to contact the synagogue office at 412-521-6788 with any questions.

May the New Year bless us with good health, peace, and prosperity.

Shana Tovah!
