Online Attendance
Digital Machzor | Digital Songbook
If you are attending online, please download a copy of the machzor to use during services, and the songbook too when it is ready. These links will be provided on the Youtube Streaming page for your convenience, and on Zoom, they will be provided by the Zoom host in the chat. We regret that all our paper machzors are needed for in-person services and cannot be lent out.
Link to Youtube Stream
All services at the Tiffany Center, except children’s programming, will be streamed on Youtube. The Youtube stream is one-way, allowing you to view the services without seeing other people who are also online.
