  For the first time in Sixth & I’s history, High Holiday services are expanding to three buildings within our
  historically Jewish neighborhood. With unique options for prayer and song, each service offers Jews from
  all backgrounds a fresh approach to experience the High Holidays. No matter how you slice it, rabbis,
  chazzans (cantors), and lay leaders are dedicated to making your New Year meaningful
.
 
  There is a $10 administrative fee per ticket
.
  Ticket fees are not tax-deductible.

 
Tickets purchased after Friday, September 7 will not be mailed. Please bring a printed copy of
  your email confirmation to serve as your ticket at the door.
