PARKING: Effective December 1, the Shul has a new parking arrangement with the Shopping Center. We will no longer be renting parking from the Pool. See the separate parking flyer for details. It is very important for the success of this new parking arrangement, which costs significantly less than the arrangement with the Pool, that everyone park in the proper location.

Belonofsky Sanctuary Lighting – Lights in the Belonofsky Sanctuary have been blinking on and off for weeks. Unfortunately the problem is not the light bulbs. For electricians to reach the light fixtures we will require moving pews to allow scaffolding to be set up. That was delayed by the work being done in the Sanctuary and on the sidewalks outside. The work is now tentatively scheduled to be done next week. We appreciate your patience as we work to provide better lighting for the membership.
