Dear Members, Associate Members, and Friends of Congregation Toras Chaim:
As we prepare individually for the High Holidays we also prepare as a community. Bringing accounts current with the shul and reserving High Holiday tickets are a part of that communal preparation.
In order to offset the challenging financial landscape that affects us all, the Board has voted to keep the High Holiday ticket prices as low as possible. To be clear about the levels of commitment to Congregation Toras Chaim, it is possible to think about affiliation in three ways:
- Full Member-$1200 per family, which includes high-holiday tickets for all immediate members of the family.
- Associate Member-$360 (does not include High Holiday tickets).
- Friends
Tickets for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur for 5775/2014 are as follows:
• Full Member tickets are bundled into the $1,200 annual membership fee for all immediate members of the family.
• Associate Members and Friends pay $250 per ticket for an individual or $400 for the family (spouse and/or children).
Please note that the Full Member rate applies only if:
- (a) the Full Member’s account of dues and pledges to the shul are paid in full by September 23, 2014, OR
- (b) the Full Member is on a regular payment schedule to pay off dues and pledges by December 31, 2014.
If one of these conditions is not met, the Associate Member and Friend ticket rate will apply.
Should you have difficulty meeting your financial obligations to Congregation Toras Chaim, special accommodations may be made for High Holiday tickets on a case by case basis. To make such accommodations, please speak with Akiva Meir Hersh, Vice President of Development for CTC, or Ben Nise, President of CTC.

- Ben Nise may be reached at 972.898.4237 or [email protected]
Please be aware of the following information:
- Reservations will not be accepted without payment.
- If you are unsure of your membership status, please contact Ben or Akiva Meir at the phone numbers above.
- Seating for Full Members in good standing, with reservations by 9/18/2014 are guaranteed. Reservations for Associate Members in good standing, Friends or reservations made after 9/18/2014 are based on space availability and are at the discretion of Rabbi Rich and Ben Nise.
