SECURITY PROTOCOLS FOR THE HIGH HOLIDAYS - BRING YOUR TICKETS!
Given the worldwide security concerns Beth Tikvah is introducing new protocols around security for the synagogue during the High Holidays.
When you arrive at the synagogue you
MUST present your tickets to the security team. If you forget your tickets the security guards will be asking you for your first and last name to verify with our identified ticket holders list for the High Holidays. If your name is not on the list you will be asked to complete a registration form that will include your Name, Address and contact information. You will be asked to present Photo ID - a BC Driver's License to validate your identity.
While we recognize that this may be an additional step in entering the synagogue during the holidays this further strengthens the board resolve to ensure the safety of all of our Beth Tikvah families.
Thank you for your understanding as the security of our congregation is of the utmost importance.
