High Holy Days Volunteers: All Ages Welcome!
How are we able to bring High Holy Days to our fellow members and community? It takes over 50 volunteers who are involved in planning, innovating, and problem solving for months to bring our holiday experience to fruition.
Join our High Holy Days Team! We have many opportunities for both adults and youth (if you are looking for volunteer hours for school or a program, sign up and we will sign for you). No experience is needed for many opportunities. You may read about the different opportunities below; if one area is of interest, click on the signup to learn more and join the team.
All volunteers will have reserved seating so they may join their families once done with their volunteer duties.
Guest Welcome Table For Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur Family Services
We are looking for one adult and one youth "ambassador" to welcome families, talk about our youth and family programming, and answer questions at each of our family services. To learn more, go to our High Holy Days Family Ambassador Signup.
Member Check-In Crew
Our check-in crew mark our members and guests as in attendance. Join by signing up on our High Holy Days Member Check-in Signup.
Parking Crew
Put on an orange vest, get some sunblock, and tell those cars where to go! This is a wonderful opportunity for someone who loves to be outside with a team of people. Mark, our parking coordinator, will teach you the ropes. View the availability by going to our High Holy Days Parking Crew Signup.
Setup/breakdown or distribute ritual books
These volunteer opportunities are a great time for you to bring a friend or make a new one while providing much needed help in preparing for services. Appropriate for teens and adults, they do not require a huge time commitment. You may either help with setup and breakdown of chairs or help with distribution and collection of books. We have many slots available; to sign up, visit our High Holy Days Setup/breakdown or Distribution Signup.
Greeters
Welcome people coming from the parking lot into the building and direct them to the check-in staff or to the welcome table as appropriate. Help control the flow of traffic to keep the lobby flowing. You may sign up through our High Holy Days Greeter Signup.
Ushers
Our ushers are the kind people who help everyone find seating, assist with special needs, and direct people to safety in case of an unexpected event. This important job is made easy with the training and leadership provided by Stephanie, our Usher Leader. If interested, click on the High Holy Days Ushers Signup.
If you want to talk or learn more about any of these opportunities, contact Sharon, our High Holy Days Coordinator, by leaving a message at the office.
