There will be people stationed at the doors when they are unlocked. Whenever you are coming to the synagogue for one of these types of activities, we strongly urge you to arrive on time. When the doors are locked, we will be able to buzz you in ONLY when the activity is taking place during business hours (Monday - Friday 8:30 a.m.- 4:30 p.m.; Sunday 9:30 a.m.-12:00 noon).
