How to Order Your High Holy Day Tickets

It may be the middle of summer, but the High Holy Days will be here before you know it (September 15 to be exact). Many of you are wondering how to order your tickets, get seats for guests, and more. We’ve made a few changes to the process, so this should help you navigate the order form. If you have any questions, you can always contact us at seatingoffice@whctemple.org or call 202-362-7100. The video below will walk you step-by-step through the process, or keep reading for the details.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Click on the link to open your individualized ticket order form. This personalized ticket link will work only for you. Please do not share it with others.

Your personalized link will enable you to:

1. Update your address or contact information.
   
2. Select the services you plan to attend. Each member in your account will receive a ticket to those services. New this year, if you are a one-person household, you will receive a complimentary second ticket so you may invite a guest to attend services with you. If your plans change and you want to attend a service you didn’t select – no worries! Just show up on the holiday, and we’ll take care of you
   
3. Add guest tickets. You can purchase Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur holiday passes for extended family and friends ($180/holiday). Children under the age of 6 are free. These passes allow guests to attend any and all services on that particular holiday. For guests ages 22-39, we offer special services designed for young professionals at a subsidized rate of $25 each. If you prefer to have your guests purchase their own tickets, you can share THIS LINK.
   
4. Update/Add your listing for the Memorial Book. Every year at Yom Kippur, Washington Hebrew publishes a Memorial Book that is a meaningful remembrance of loved ones who live on in our hearts. You can update your listing or add one if the form fields are blank. Please note that Memorial Book information must be received by Thursday, August 24.
   
5. Order Memorial Plaques. This section enables you to order a bronze plaque to be permanently displayed in Gordon Archives Hall and on our Memorial Wall during the week of your loved one’s yahrzeit.
6. Confirmation. After submitting your form, you’ll receive a confirmation email listing all the tickets you ordered (and any add-ons). Save this email on your phone or print it and bring it with you to services. We can’t wait to see you!
