Parking, Traffic & Being a Good Neighbor

Part of the uniqueness of our synagogue is that it is nestled in a beautiful, quiet, residential neighborhood. Being thoughtful in how we arrive, navigate, park and leave the neighborhood is a big part of our commitment and responsibility to be good neighbors.
