Conveniences

The prayers, conducted with Hebrew/English/Russian prayer-books, are lively, engaging and inclusive – spiced with inspiring tunes and insightful explanations throughout allowing all to absorb the experience at their own level. Sermons and announcements likewise speak to all participants and are always topical, relevant, stimulating and enlightening.

Everyone’s invited to join our traditional services blended with contemporary messages in a friendly atmosphere! Services with JRLC of South Beach are designed to make everyone feel welcome and at home. No knowledge of Hebrew or Jewish tradition is necessary. Membership/affiliation is also not required.

We will have armed security during all services besides the boardwalk Tashlich. And the NYPD does patrol our center including the boardwalk during services.

Additional info

Kids are welcome to join, but we will not have a kid’s program. Parents are responsible for watching their kids at all times (there will be a room kids can be in with adult supervision only!).

We have a new system where you will be able to choose your seats for Yom Kippur! Since this is a new system, we are available to help you with any questions at any time and we thank you in advance for your patience during the process.

On October 3rd at 5:30 PM, we will hold an outdoor Shofar with Tashlich at the South Beach boardwalk by the dolphins (Sand Ln and Father Cappodano). This event is free of charge and there is no need to registrate yourself for it.

We will accept reservations for Rosh Hashanah until September 30th at 10:00 PM and for Yom Kippur until October 8th at 8:00 PM (or until we get full).

 Prices

Adults & children over the age of 13: US$ 120 per seat. Children under the age of 13: US$ 60 per seat.
These prices include both holidays (Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur)!
Fees will help cover a small part of our High Holidays expenses.

Seats Reservation

Seats reservations are not mandatory, but we highly suggest that you reserve!
 
When using our system, you must select Yom Kippur reservations, but Rosh Hashanah reservations are optional. I.e., you can make reservations only for Yom Kippur or for Rosh Hashanah & Yom Kippur.
 
Specific seating selection is for Yom Kippur only – we will have a seating map where you can find your name and chairs will have reserved signs (please don’t bring the tickets for our services). For Rosh Hashanah, you will be able to choose between Front, Middle and Back.
 
Seat reservations are currently unavailable. Please check back on 10/06/24.
