High Holy Day Information
High Holy Days Passes
For many, the High Holy Days are a time to forge a special connection to Adath as we fill our Sanctuary with our community, our voices and our prayers. In the past we have put a priority on the mechanics of how we welcome you through Adath’s doors.
Adath now uses High Holy Days Pass instead of “tickets”. Passes still allow us to know the names of all your guests—a responsible safety measure—and to follow-up with each new person who walks into the building. But there will be no charge for guest Passes.
Sustaining the congregation we all love, along with our synagogue’s financial health, remains a priority. So in the spirit of giving that is at the heart of the season, please consider making a donation in honor of your guests and older children. Passes will also give everyone the opportunity to make a pledge to our annual L’Chaim Campaign.
We hope our High Holy Days Pass signals to all that they are welcome at Adath for any service at any time. We look forward to wishing you Shana Tova, a happy, healthy year, as we celebrate together in the warmth of community.
If You’ll Be Out of Town
If you plan to attend services at a congregation that asks for reciprocity, Adath can send a request for any member in good standing. Contact Andrea Blumberg in the office at 952.545.2424.
Service Live Streaming
If you can’t join us at services during the High Holy Days, you can still be part of our community by watching online.

Parking
If our on-site lots are full, you may:
Temporary Exit
A temporary exit will be available on the east side of the parking lot between the Aleph and Bet services on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. This exit is available by special permission of the Minnetonka City Council only on High Holy Days. You cannot enter at this opening and no parking is allowed on the residential street between Windsor Lake Drive and the temporary exit. Cars exiting the Adath lot through the temporary exit will be directed to turn right on Windsor Lake Drive and then directed back to Lindbergh Drive. Note: There is one hour between the end of the Aleph service and the beginning of the Bet Musaf service. We urge congregants not to arrive early for the Bet Musaf service so that Aleph congregants have time to clear the parking lots. On Kol Nidre: The break between the Aleph and Bet services is only 45 minutes. Accessible Parking
If you have a Disability Parking Tag, you are welcome to use any designated parking spot or the reserved disabled parking area by the West/Gan Shelanu Preschool entrance. If you use the West entrance, you can take the elevator up to the Sanctuary level. Please leave Accessible spaces for drivers who require them. If you are driving a person with a disability, you may drop that person off at the front entrance and park in a regular parking space. No Parking Areas
Minnetonka Police will also post temporary no parking signs on some narrow residential streets to allow fire truck access. |
Shuttle Bus
Consider the convenience of the shuttle bus. Shuttle service will be available from the east parking lot of Westwood Lutheran Church, 9001 Cedar Lake Road (three blocks east of Highway 169) to the Adath main entrance. Please enter the church parking lot on the east side.
