Assistive Listening Devices (ALDs)
ALDs are available for use in the Wolman Sanctuary. They are kept in a basket next to the bimah when you first come in the doors from the Juniper Street side. Look for a small black box about the size of a deck of cards, connected by a wire to an earpiece. You do not need a hearing aid to use an ALD.

ASL Interpretation
ASL interpretation can be provided for services upon request.
