No one will be turned away for inability to pay. Email the rabbi and you will be welcome as a guest.

In addition to the dinner, Chabad @ the Beaches has posted its High Holiday Services schedule. They will be “warm, friendly and traditional,” according to Chabad’s executive director, Rabbi Nochum Kurinsky.
Organizers say that past years’ services were a phenomenal success, with large crowds in attendance. Membership is not required to join. All are welcome, regardless of background or affiliation. Donations are always appreciated.
In addition, a special children’s program will accompany most adult services. All prayers will combine the original Hebrew, as well as translated English.
“According to tradition, at the new year, the doors of heaven are open; G-d accepts all prayers, from every person," explained the rabbi. “It is in this spirit that we open our services to the entire community.”
Services will be held on Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year (Oct. 2-4), as well as Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement (Oct. 11-12). They will be held at various times (as indicated below) at the Aaron and Blanche Scharf Chabad Center.
