We look forward to sharing a meaningful High Holiday experience with you at our newly decorated Bar Yohai Sephardic Minyan. Our favorite Chazzan Amikam Lasry will once again lead both Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services as he did in recent years. Please take a moment to reserve seats for the Chagim, as well as your lulav and etrog.
We kindly request the following donations with your reservation: $26 per person for member families in good standing; $150 per person for non-members; no charge for new members in their first year of membership. Please note that no one will be denied reservations due to financial constraints. If you feel you have a need for assistance, please contact Fred Zaghi at (408) 373-5287, in full confidentiality.
We thank those who have donated generously and bought permanent seats. We will assign seats for all other reservations, on a first come, first served basis. Please understand that we will try to honor your seat request, but we are not able to guarantee reservation of a specific seat as availability of seats is limited.
Seats are reserved when we receive a completed reservation request and your donation.
Here is the simple three step process:
- Make your seat reservation donation here

- Communicate your seat selection via email to
