L'Shana Tova!
All of our High Holy Day services this year (2021/5782) are being streamed online and everyone can view them. Please refer to the High Holy Day schedule of services. If you need assistance watching, we're here to help! Below, we've answered some commonly asked questions, and provided some additional helpful tips, to ensure you have an easy and enjoyable virtual High Holy Day experience.
Can I get a Prayer book to Follow along?
This year’s virtual services have been designed in a way that prayer books are not necessary, however you can still follow along should you already have your own Gates of Repentance prayer book. We have books available for $20 if you would like to purchase your own. Please call Joan Bobee at 248.661.5700 to arrange a pick up at Temple.
Where Can I Find the Schedule of Services?
You can find the schedule of services, educational programs and everything else HHD related on our special HHD 2021 landing page.
Where Can I Watch The Services?
The day of the service or program, a few minutes before the start time, find a comfortable spot in your home. Make sure your computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone is connected to the internet and go to temple-israel.org/hhd. You will be streaming video to your device, so you might want to use your Wi-Fi for an internet connection instead of your data plan if you can.
Find the service or program you wish to view on our High Holy Days website. Below the description for each service, you will see a blue button that says Click Here To Watch Virtually (Sample of this button is below.) This button will take you to our various platforms you can use to watch this service.
For each service, select the platform with which you are most comfortable, and click the related button. A new window will open, and at the published start time, the service will begin.
Watch on Facebook Watch on YouTube Watch on TI Website
should i use facebook? youtube? the website?
For your convenience, many of our services and programs will be available on several platforms. Choose the one most familiar to you. Some tips are below, and remember, you can find convenient links to the individual programs on each of these platforms on our High Holy Day page. You can watch any service at its scheduled time on Facebook, YouTube or our website. You can also watch any service after that on Facebook or YouTube.
- Enter https://www.facebook.com/templeisraelmi/videos into your web browser.
- When programming begins, a video that says "Live" in red will appear. Click on "Live" and the video will start.
- Facebook lets you interact with clergy and others watching the service online through "likes" and comments.
- A Facebook account may be required.
YouTube
- Go to https://www.youtube.com/user/TempleIsraelMI.
- Click on the video you want to watch. If the video has not yet started, you may see a temporary placeholder image.
- YouTube often includes advertisements. Temple Israel has no control over these or their content.
WHY ISN'T THE VIDEO FOR THE SERVICE PLAYING?
- Videos for services will begin at the published start time. If it is before the start time, you will not be able to see the video.
- If one platform isn't working for you, consider trying another. For example, if you are having trouble watching on Facebook, try viewing via YouTube or the website.
we missed the service. now what?
All programs and services will be available at the published start time. After the service is complete, you can watch it whenever you like on Facebook or YouTube simply by clicking the same button on our HHD page. You'll also be able to Fast Forward, Rewind, Pause, etc.
I still have questions.
