What will it cost me to attend services?
The Chapel Service is asking you to buy a prayerbook for your personal use. We use the Harlow Machzor. We will purchase the book and have it for you when you arrive.Take it home with you and save it for next year. You won't get as much out of the service without one. The prayerbooks costs $20 each. 

In addition, we are asking that you make a donation toward our costs. For newcomers, we are not specifying any particular amount.  We sincerely want to make our services available to whoever wants to come for the Holidays. We invite you to contribute what you can and what feels comfortable to you. We are grateful for whatever you can/or want to contribute.

We sponsor a beautiful lunch after Rosh HaShanah services: Grilled Salmon, kugel, salad, traditional holiday desserts and a vegetarian option. We hope you'll join us so we can welcome you and get to know you. We are asking a modest $5 a person for lunch. Again, if you can't afford that, let us know and you will be our guest.

FYI: What does it cost the Chapel Service to produce this service?
The actual cost to us is between $60-70 per person per holiday. Most comparable services have even greater expenses than we do and charge around $250 per seat for the holidays. If you belong to a synagogue it typically costs between 1%-2% of your income.
