Helpful information for this Shabbat

We are delighted to welcome many guests to help us celebrate Shoshana becoming a Bat Mitzvah! Please help us maintain proper decorum during our prayer services. We ask that you do not enter the Sanctuary through the hallway doors during Musaf or the Dvar Torah. Able-bodied individuals will be directed downstairs via the social hall and asked to enter through the 16th Street Atrium. Unaccompanied children will not be allowed to wander around the building. Please ensure that your children are in appropriate programming (see below) or sitting quietly with you. We appreciate your cooperation.

Additionally, in order to accommodate kiddush luncheon setup, please refrain from congregating in the Social Hall during davening. Stroller parking is in the designated stroller tent in the alley. Please do not bring your stroller into the building. Thank you.
