• Anyone who bought seats and is not planning to use them for Yom Kippur is asked to please inform the gabbaim, so the seats  can be re-allocated. Also, anyone who wishes to switch their reservation to a different minyan (on a space available basis) should contact the gabbai/seat coordinator of the minyan they wish to join: Jerry Kriger for the main & BM minyanim, and Josh Klein for Hashkama. Please also inform the person in charge of the minyan that you are leaving, so that seats may be re-assigned. 
• Note that seating assignments within your chosen minyan for Yom Kippur may be different from Rosh Hashana, so please check the seating map to find your seat
• Please supervise your kids. We have had several cases of young children who have (temporarily) gone missing. The shul is not a playground, and parents are asked to ensure that their children do not remain in the building at the end of services (except for the Mibreishit shiur). Thank you for your cooperation.
• As always, those attending the Main and Hashkama minyanim are asked to leave strollers outside the building. Strollers may be brought into the Beit Midrash minyan, but must be kept in the back of the room.
• Please bring machzorim to all three minyanim, as the shul has only a very limited number available.

Lost and found: 

• Lost- A pair of glasses (brown Michael Cors) in a grey case was lost around the YHD campus on Rosh Hashana. If you found them, please call  054-794-2378.
• and Found- In Hashkama minyan: 1 grey sweater in men's section, 1 orange MultiLock key with crocs tag in women's section. Both are in the lobby of the main shul- the key is hanging on the [non-virtual] bulletin board, and the sweater is on the counter.
