Purchase Tickets

Faculty & Staff Tickets

Princeton University Faculty and staff are not required to pay for High Holiday tickets. This is one of many ways the CJL endeavors to serve the Princeton University family.  While the CJL fully subsidizes tickets for faculty, staff, and their families, we ask that you please consider making a tax-deductible donation of $180 per person to help us cover our service expenses, including facility rentals and security.
