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.

Some offer outright-free streaming of services.
The standard prayers/prayerbooks can be downloaded—for personal use only—from some congregations’
websites.

Read through the prayers.
Daven along with onscreen services—in the company of others.
