Membership Renewal and
the One Pass Explained
All current members of Congregation Emanu-El in good financial standing will receive a One Pass for each adult member of the household and each dependent child between the ages of 10 and 25, in the name of the attendee. You do not need to choose or reserve specific services in advance and—new this year!—you do not need to request or register for your One Pass:
Renew your membership, or become a new member, by the May 30 deadline and you will receive your High Holy Day One Passes in the mail in late July.
To be included for the 2013 High Holy Day services, we ask that new members join by Friday, August 16.
With your One Pass, you may attend any service. You will need to show your One Pass for all services except those indicated as "Open to the Community".
STEPS TO TAKE:
- Renew your membership here.
- Check your mail beginning in late July for an oversized envelope from Congregation Emanu-El and make sure all of your passes are inside!
We will mail One Passes by late July. If you do not receive them by August 5, please contact the High Holy Day office at hhd@emanuelsf.org.
If you choose to bring a young child to the Classic or Contemporary Services, please be sure your child is able to sit through the entire service (approximately two hours) so as not to disturb other worshippers. Otherwise, please choose the child care option or make other arrangements.
