High Holy Days
CBST's High Holy Day services attract thousands. Through our Open Door fund, created in response to the historic exclusion of gays and lesbians from participating openly in most Jewish communities, CBST dispenses with the standard admission fees required to attend these important services. As a result, thousands, including some of the most notable New Yorkers, celebrate the High Holy Days with CBST at our various venues. Many of our members first came to CBST through the Open Door.
Online registration is closed. Registration will not be taken over the phone. Please register on site on the evening of Yom Kippur, Friday, October 7th, beginning at 5:30 at the Javits Center for entrance to the Kol Nidre service.
Service times, locations, and registration form. Pre-registration is now closed. On-site registration will be available.
