ALT This year, the Board of Directors decided to offer free tickets to everyone who would like to join us for the High Holy Days. Our vision is to be truly inclusive and welcoming to all who might need a High Holy Day home, in the hopes that BCC may become an all-year-round home. We want to encourage new faces and voices to join our community and eliminate the barriers to entry during this holy season. - Rabbi Jillian Cameron
