Visitors should contact ahead to learn about service times and visiting hours, as these may vary throughout the year. The building is easy to access and located in a central residential neighborhood.
The congregation is led by local lay leaders rather than full-time rabbis, which shapes how the community functions. This approach allows members to take active roles in guiding their own religious life.
