HOW TO LIVESTREAM TOTA High Holy Days Rosh Hashana Sept. 18-19; Yom Kippur 27-28
12:00 am

On the High Holy Days of Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, Rabbi Baron brings inspirational speakers from around the world. Temple membership includes your ticket for our magnificent High Holy Days observances, featuring Cantors Ilysia Pierce and Jordan Bennett, and Music Director Sharon Farber guiding the instrumentalists. Services include special guest speakers. Individual tickets to our High Holy Days also are available as a non-member ticket on our membership page. "Virtual memberships" also are available to livestream the services at www.futurestream.tv/TOTA. Details are below.

HOW TO ACCESS THE LIVESTREAM for ALL SERVICES:

1. Click on this link to access to the website that is hosting the online services: https://futurestream.tv/TOTA 

2. Make a user profile with your email and password. Write them down, just in case (you can change the user name by erasing the one they give you and entering one you like better). Once you make a user profile, the site “remembers” you for access later on and throughout the end of Yom Kippur.

3. At the time of services, go back to the link in Step 1 and you'll be joining the live "broadcast" online. Follow along on your computer. Prayers will be onscreen. You can access that website link anywhere you can get the internet.

If you have any trouble, email the Futurestream Tech Support at hello@futurestream.tv

NOTE: Nothing much will show up on screen at www.FUTURESTREAM.tv/TOTA  until services start. You’ll just see our logo on the screen until “showtime."
