The Temple social hall, sanctuary, and classrooms are available for rent for your function or meeting.  Here's some basic information about what we can accomodate.

Sanctuary: The seating capacity of the sanctuary is 230 people. By opening the folding doors between the sanctuary and the social hall, seating may be increased to 670 people for large functions.  The sanctuary is equipped with three podium microphones and two body mics.  There are 12 assistive listening devices for use by the hearing impaired.  There are two wheel chair accessible entrances to the Sanctuary.  Seating is arranged to accomodate wheel chairs as well.  Our Torah reading table is on the floor level and can be adjusted to accomodate a variety of heights.

Social Hall: The seating capacity for sit down dinners is 210 people.  Auditorium style seating can be arranged for up to 400 depending on the set up. There are two body mics available for use in the social hall as well as one mobile podium microphone.

Small Sanctuary: The social hall stage doubles as our small sanctuary which can accomodate 50 people for a more intimate service or lecture.  The small sanctuary is wheel chair accessible.

Lower Foyer: Our lower foyer is a nice location for a small mixer.  The wall of windows looks out onto our courtyard and the stained glass depiction of the seven days of creation is a masterpiece.
