COST

The Slifka Center is committed to meeting the religious, spiritual and cultural needs of our community during High Holy Days and beyond. Slifka Center maintains an ‘open door’ policy for the High Holy Days, however as an independent not‐for‐profit organization that does not receive funding from Yale University, your voluntary contribution will support the vital services provided by the Center during the High Holy Days and throughout the year.  All donations to Slifka Center are fully deductable to the extent of the law.  Suggested donations for High Holy Days attendees:

• $154 for adult tickets
• $118 for seniors (60 and above) and youth (ages 13‐18)

Parking passes are available to all ticket holders. These passes must be clearly displayed through your windshield, allowing you to park free of charge in legal spaces during the hours services are held. Yale lots may only be used for evening and weekend services.  You may pick up your parking pass at the Will Call Desk (front desk) at Slifka Center.

The Bernard and Norma Lytton Apples and Honey Kiddush will be held at the Slifka Center immediately following services on the first night of Rosh Hashanah, September 16th.  All are welcome.

The Robert and Louise Arias Yom Kippur Break­Fast is partially underwritten by an endowment, allowing us to offer this festive feast at a greatly reduced price to the whole community.
