Shabbat Services in Hirsch Hall
Shabbat morning services for the rest of the summer will be held in air-conditioned Hirsch Hall (downstairs) instead of the Sanctuary. For your comfort, please consider bringing a light sweater.
With our streaming equipment in the Sanctuary, we are unfortunately unable to offer virtual services from Hirsch Hall. As an alternative, TeleTefila will continue to hold virtual services throughout the summer.
