A Note to Visitors and Non-Members

The suggested donation is HK$2,000 per person to attend our services. The best way to ensure the The UJC is able to serve you during High Holy Days and all year is to become a member. Your donation will be credited to your dues should you decide to become a part of The UJC family. High Holy Day electronic tickets may be obtained in advance by contacting the UJC office.
