Beth Jacob welcomes all to daven with us on the High Holidays
We have never used tickets, instead, believing that everyone should have a place to daven on Rosh Hashanah & Yom Kippur. Join us!
If you have any questions, please contact the Beth Jacob office at (651) 452-2226 or via email at bjcoffice@beth-jacob.org.
