Livestream FAQ
Which BJ High Holy Day services will be livestreamed?
All adult services will be available online via livestream. In most cases, this will be the service taking place in the BJ Sanctuary. On the second morning of Rosh Hashanah, when the only adult service will be held at SPSA, that service will be livestreamed instead.
Family services and the mindfulness service on the second day of Rosh Hashanah will also be available via livestream.

I’m in a different time zone, do I need to watch live?
You’ll be able to join any of these services live and watch the recordings afterward using the links in your confirmation email, which is sent automatically after registration.
I like to put it on my Smart TV, will I still be able to do that?
Yes! There are a few steps however, and we recommend you check out this helpful guide from YouTube that tells you how to do it. You will receive a separate link for every service.
Where and how can I access the livestream?
All BJ members in good standing are pre-registered to join the livestream and will receive instructions to join the livestream or member-only Zoom. Please do not try to register separately for online access.
For non-members, you must register to gain access to the BJ livestream:
Non-member registration will open on Monday, August 3.
What should I do if I don’t have a mahzor at home?
Check rabookstore.org to find out how to purchase a physical or digital copy of Mahzor Lev Shalem from the Rabbinical Assembly.
In addition, limited hard copies will be available for loan to members in good standing. Reservations must be made in advance, and the hard copies must be picked up in person. (Coming soon.)
Is there anything else I need to join online?
Be sure to download BJ’s Mahzor Supplement for additional texts used during High Holy Day services.
How can I support BJ?
Contributions to BJ’s Kol Nidre Partnership Appeal ensure that we are able to continue to provide meaningful opportunities for prayer and spirituality, and to be a place where people learn, grow, and question—whether you are joining us from across the street or the other side of the world.
