Coming Soon: New Door Access System! We are very excited to announce that our new door access system will be installed in the next few weeks. The new system will allow you to gain entrance to the synagogue by using your smartphone or a unique PIN number. This will help to keep the building secure. You will soon be receiving an email from Paxton10 with instructions on setting up your personal access. Each person will need to set their own account. Please be on the lookout for the email and set up promptly so that you will have building access. If you have any questions or need assistance, please call the office.
