Yom Kippur Parking Details
The much anticipated Kol Nidre Service starts promptly at 7pm in Ballroom A of the UNR Student Union. Parking is reserved in the Whalen Garage on the first floor. The Whalen Garage is immediately across from the Student Union. To get in, you must tell the parking attendant the magic words "Yom Kippur" (seriously).
It is a football game night. Parking services will only allow the people planning to come to our services into our reserved section on the 1st floor. There are about 70 spaces. Last year we had an attendance of about 90 people. So, come early (before 6:30pm) to avoid the football game traffic. Starbucks is open in the Student Union before services.
If there are spaces, you can park in the metered parking outside the Student Union.
For Yom Kippur morning, you can park anywhere and there should be plenty of spaces. For more parking details and information click HERE.
Call if you have questions 322-5542

Length of Services:
@ UNR Ballroom A
Evening services begin at 7pm and end around 9pm. Morning services begin at 10am and end likely around 1:30pm, with a full Torah service, Yizkor and Musaf.
@ TBOR not at UNR
We return for Meditation/Chant/Learning at 4pm and then will hold concluding services (Neilah), shofar blast, Havdalah (end of Shabbat) and break-the-fast 6-8pm. We have a dairy potluck. If you bring food from the store, please keep it in its original container (so we know the ingredients for people who may have allergies). If you're making it yourself kol hakavod (all honor - - what a great thing).
What do we do on Yom Kippur: It is said that this is the holiest day of the year, when all people are judged for life, health and parnassah (wealth) for the coming year. We do not eat or drink, we pray and also give tzedaka (charity). So, please do not bring in drinks or food to the morning services. The prayer service is long during the day and if you have sacred Jewish literature that you would like to study, you might choose to bring such a book on the morning service. Some people are studying R' Telushkin's Jewish Literacy. If you need to take break, do so.
Dress: Regarding dress code: many people choose to wear white, some avoid leather shoes and wear kippot (hats in the basket at the door), even if you are not Jewish, as a sign of respect. Some people choose to wear tallit (prayer shawls) and do so when coming up to the Torah.
Who Is Temple Beth Or: We are truly warm, welcoming egalitarian Jewish congregation devoted to Jewish learning and Jewish values. Our services are filled with music and ruach (passion). For these High Holiday services, we are partnering with Nevada Hillel (Jewish college students) and the Jewish Community of Elko County.
How can you support us? As the rabbi said in her Rosh Hashana sermon, there are many ways to be and "do" Jewish. In order to work towards goals of "doing Jewish," we need your support. If you are not ministering to your community, teaching classes on Judaism, providing comfort to the sick or bereaved, representing Judaism in interfaith groups, and much more, then send money to those who are doing the work.
It is traditional during the High Holidays to renew your membership and give tzedaka (charity) to your synagogue. You can join as a family for $550/year; or, as an individual for $360. If you maintain full membership in another synagogue and are already paying dues there, consider our associate membership. See website for details.
If you are not a member of TBOR and are attending services, please donate generously to Temple Beth Or during these High Holidays. You may put money in the white tzedaka (Charity) box on the table in the back of the room, take and envelope and send it later, or use Paypal  .
Make a Jewish New Year's resolution to come learn with us. Let us know if you would like to be included on our monthly email or go to our Home Page were you can sign up. We invite you to join us! Spend the year learning more about how to "do" Jewish.
