We'd love for you to join our services. When you visit, please keep these customs in mind:
♦ Please turn off or silence all electronic devices before entering the Sanctuary.
♦ We don't write or use phones in the building during Shabbat or Holidays.
♦ Men should wear kipot, slacks, and a collared shirt. Jewish men wear tallitot for morning services.
♦ Women should cover their shoulders and midriffs, with skirts of a modest length. Slacks are fine too. Women should cover their heads when called to the bima.
♦ Children are welcome. If they become restless and disrupt others' prayers, please take them outside the Sanctuary for a break.
♦ Please don't enter or exit the Sanctuary during the Rabbi's speech or when the Congregation is standing.
