We have changed our ticketing system this year. You will not receive a ticket
but rather an email. From there, click on “get tickets” and you will be invited to
register on humanitix and will be sent an email with your tickets. If you have
not received the email from the synagogue call or be in touch with Toni
info@emanuel.org.au and we can help you.

Yes you still need a ticket for entry to the synagogue. You should have received
an email inviting you to register for tickets. Just click on the link and it will take
you to humanitix, fill in the details and your tickets will be emailed to you.

No unfortunately we do not sell tickets for this time of year, tickets are reserved
for members of the congregation. If you would like to explore becoming a
member, we would love to welcome you. For more information click here or contact
Toni at the synagogue and she would be delighted to share information with
you.

Yes! We have family and children’s services for Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur,

Unfortunately, there is no parking on site anymore. It will be possible to drive to
the front gate and be dropped off but there is no parking there. There will be
assistance to make your way into the synagogue.

We know that parking near the synagogue is often a challenge and this is especially true during High Holy Days. There is no on-site parking and only limited parking is available in the streets near the synagogue. Most of the parking available in the area is 2P. For vehicles displaying a valid disability permit, parking in a 2P zone is permitted for the whole day. We recommend you consider using a ride-share service or taxi. There is a small area in front of the synagogue for drop off and pick up of disabled or elderly congregants. From the street, there is disabled access including wheelchair access to all sanctuaries.

There is some parking available to the public in Centennial Park, though please note any time limit restrictions and be aware that the gates close at sunset.

This year, we are offering our community the chance to “reverse tashlich.” Instead of throwing things into the water, we will collect rubbish and throw it away. 

Because the first day of Rosh HaShanah this year is Shabbat, Tashlich is deferred to Sunday.

Tashlich Times & Locations

• Centennial Park – Model Yacht Pond near York Road  – Sunday, 17 September after services, around 1:30pm (click here for map)
• Sir Joseph Banks Park – pond at the end of Fremlins Lane, Botany –  Sunday, 17 September from 2:00pm. (click here for map)

This year, the first day of Rosh Hashanah is Shabbat so shofar will not be
blown, but on second day at our Rosh Hashana Live service as well as our
Masorti service, you will be able to hear the sounds of the shofar. You can also
go to the park for tashlich and shofar blowing.

Whichever service you book your ticket for, will allow you access to all services, so you only need to choose one!

If they are travelling from interstate or overseas to be with you and your family, contact the office to inquire about ways they can attend. If they live locally, then they will have to join as members.
