For the ✡️ #HighHolidays
—if you belong to a congregation you love…enjoy!
If not, there are still many options.
Contact your favorite egalitarian, inclusive shul and see if you can take part in services—in person or virtually—for whatever you can pay without financial hardship.
THIS THREAD will list congregations and groups that offer equal-participation #HighHolidays services, in person and/or virtual, without set “ticket” prices—or at least with the option to give “another amount” (just send it in; no humiliating negotiations or discussion required).
In these times, who needs the tsuris? Not us!
(But enough of that argument. For now).

SOME congregations do it right: they offer access to services that reflect the best of Jewish values—the values we really want for our families and ourselves—on a “give what you can” basis.

Do-it-yourself, homeschooling, online courses, and creating our own in-person or hybrid havurah and Hebrew school are affordable alternatives to consider—as we make our plans (already!) for 5783.

Whatever you do, PLEASE don’t “settle” for some ultratraditional congregation just because it offers a financial arrangement that isn’t (much of) a hardship. The full price will include your kids being taught values that contradict the inclusive values you really want for them.
And read the fine print.
Your daughter may not get to do and learn everything your son will get to do and learn.
And as for your gay or otherwise nonconforming kid…don’t ask.
Also, what will your kids be taught about all the other people on this planet—both Jews and others?
