The Temple is fortunate to own both facilities and property that enable us to provide our congregants with a full range of programs and services. These include:
- An elegant domed sanctuary, with a hand-carved Torah Ark and
upholstered chairs that seat 500. Click here to view

stained glass windows - click here for a

stained glass and dark wood paneling.

with a stage and adjoining kitchen. It is available to rent for weddings, Bar and
Bat Mitzvahs, etc. Email Temple
