Or Shalom welcomes visitors, friends and family to join us for High Holidays. High Holiday participation is included for Or Shalom members, so this form is for non-members who would like join us for services. For those who are uncomfortable with in-person events or are unable to attend, our services will all be live-streamed on YouTube, see orshalom.ca for the link.

Or Shalom welcomes all to join us regardless of your ability to pay. Those of us that can, help those who cannot.
Or Shalom membership includes High Holiday attendance. High Holiday-only visitors can register here, and make a donation if you are able. Or Shalom does not have reserved seating or send out tickets, just check in with the security desk when you arrive at the JCC.
Shanah Tovah Tikateyvu!
Thanks for your ongoing support – we love to see you every year at our services. This year we have added the capability to get your high holyday membership online – see orshalom.ca/hiho. Shana Tovah!

בברכה לך ולמשפחתך שנה טובה, בריאה ומשגשגת!
Best wishes to you and your family for a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!
My sister is participating in her first Yom Kippur in Vancouver and we were wondering if there is a break-fast after the Yom Kippur services at the JCC. Also, I would like to make a High Holiday donation but is it necessary to get a full High Holiday membership to ensure a seat?
Thank you
Or Shalom opens its doors to all who wish to celebrate the High Holydays with us, and relies on the generosity of donors to ensure we can continue this open practice. We try to put out enough seats for everyone, especially on Erev Yom Kippur. The high holiday membership is available for those who can support Or Shalom to that extent, and membership provides early seating but then the doors are open to all who wish to start Yom Kippur with our community.
Donations can also be made through our web site to orshalom.ca/donate
There is no break-fast scheduled at the JCC this year I am afraid.
