Car Sharing: Offer a Ride/Need a Ride

Given that the location for our High Holidays (Montclair Presbyterian Church) is not accessible via Bart (you can take a bus from some Bart stations), we are asking folks to sign-up if you need a ride or if you can offer a ride.

To sign-up to offer a ride, please click here.

To sign-up to request a ride, please click here.

The sign-up form asks for your name, email, phone number and where you are coming from or need a ride from. After you fill out the form you will receive an email with a link to the spreadsheet, you can then reach out to other people on the list to offer or receive a ride.

Volunteers Needed

If you are able to help with set-up and dismantling at the end of Yom Kippur, being available to help check-in folks and distribute hand-outs, etc. for Kol Nidre and/or Yom Kippur day, please contact Austin at austin@beyttikkun.org. Please note, this is very important and a huge mitzvot for Rabbi Cat, Austin, and the entire team. Thank you.
