2021 / 5782 High Holy Days Guide

Pre-Holiday
Additional tips for at home...
Check your technology ahead of time. All the links you will need to
connect will be provided in advance to those who RSVP using the High Holy
Days Registration Form. We advise you to“try out” - and even bookmark - your links
ahead of time, so you will be prepared.
Clear your calendar. Clear your work and other obligations. You might find it helpful to print
and post the schedule found on page 1 of this brochure in a prominent place. Create
expectations for yourself (and your family) regarding potential distractions like cell phones
or email.
Find your space. Create a place in the house that is comfortable for sitting and viewing your
computer or TV. If youth are present in your home, you can use them as “consultants” to help
you decide how to create the right space for prayer. Many congregants over the past 16 months
found it very helpful to cast services onto their TV for an optimal experience. We are happy to
provide you with information about how to access the services through streaming devices
(Roku, AppleTV, Amazon Firestick) and smart TVs. A PJTC staff member or volunteer is available
if you need technical assistance at 626-798-1161.
Ensure you have the supplies you need. PJTC will provide you with a kippah, tallit and Machzor
Lev Shalem, our High Holy Days prayer book, if you request them in advance through our High
Holy Day Registration Form. You can pick up your supplies during our official supply pick up
drive-through event August 29, from 9:30am to 12:30pm, or set a pick-up time during the
following week by calling the PJTC office at 626-798-1161.
