Parking
Parking TBD
For any services or meals held at 440 North Swinton Avenue, parking is in the Early Childhood Parking Lot behind 440 on the Trinity Lutheran Church property. Please do not park in the front parking lot at Trinity and help us continue to solidify our growing fellowship with our holy neighbors.
Security
We will have ample security for every service. Every current member is registered for each service. Please arrive 30 minutes before services as lines will form.
There are no nametags for services. We will supply different colored bracelets to identify paid members and guests for security to be allowed into services.
We will request you show your ID before entering the Sanctuary. We hope to have heard from you about your plans to join us in person so we can best prepare.
Ushers
We will have volunteer ushers to help us. Please note entry to the Sanctuary is restricted when the Ark is open and during Rabbi Marc’s sermons. Doors open 15 minutes before services begin.
Livestream
All services will be livestreamed. Any service in the main Sanctuary will be livestream, not on Zoom, from our website. All livestream service information and passwords will be shared with current members, and any non-member who registers for our Holy Day services
Children
Children are welcome to pray, sing and dance with us during service. Instead of childcare, we are planning special family services for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur for families with children under 10, time TBD. RSVP required.

Bring Your Shofar
Rabbi Marc invites all congregants to bring your shofar to High Holy Day services to participate in the Tekiah G’dola – final blast – to raise our sound to the heavens together.

Break-the-Fast!
