PARKING INSTRUCTIONS
The following parking guidelines will help make your High Holy Days more enjoyable:
. If your tickets are in SECTIONS I-IV, parking will be available at the Aventura-Waterways School on
NE 26th Avenue (just north of Beth Torah) on the first day of Rosh Hashanah, Kol Nidre and Yom Kippur (not on
the second day of Rosh Hashanah) with Shuttle Bus transportation to the Shul.
. If your tickets are in SECTIONS V-XII, parking is available at Highland Oaks Park (just west of Beth Torah) with
Shuttle Bus transportation to the Shul.
. Unassigned spaces in the Main Parking Lot will be available on a space availability basis.
On Rosh Hashanah there will be no assigned spaces in the Main Parking Lot but once filled the gates will be
closed.
On Yom Kippur we will close the Main Parking Lot to general parking until 11am to ensure our older
congregants have a place to park. After 11am there will be limited spaces that will be open for general parking.
. There are a limited number of spots on NE 26th Avenue. Please do not park on the sidewalk next to our wall for
security reasons. Cars will be towed.
. You may park on the side streets. Please do not block any driveways.
Security will be present at all parking areas.
ENTERING THE SYNAGOGE...
Each year we make every effort to ensure the safety of our Congregants and we kindly request that you please have the
following items available at all times:
1) YOUR HIGH HOLY DAY TICKETS
2) PHOTO ID (can be one of the following):
- YOUR BETH TORAH ID BADGE (you may get a new ID badge in the office during business hours)
- A PHOTO ID THAT MATCHES THE NAME ON THE TICKETS.
There will be one entrance gate at our security fence. Please have your tickets and IDs available so that we can get you
through security as quickly as possible.
TICKETS AND ID ARE REQUIRED TO ENTER THE SECURITY GATE.
We encourage you and your family to arrive early to avoid the busiest periods and possible lines at our security gate.
Between 10:30am and 11:30am are the times that most congregants choose to arrive at the synagogue. We especially
encourage you to arrive early on Kol Nidre Night as everyone arrives at the same time.

INSIDE THE SYNAGOGE...
TICKETS
We have spent the past few months assigning seats in the Scheck Family Sanctuary, Deakter Hall, Perez Chapel and in the
tent for the Spanish Services. We ask that you sit in your assigned seats at all times as Congregants arrive and leave on
various schedules.
. Your ticket will list your section, row and seat number.
. All seats are marked with section, row and seat numbers.
. Tickets are necessary for each of the services. Only those with the specific tickets will be admitted for each service.
. TRADITIONAL SERVICE (Brick red tickets) will take place in the Scheck Family Sanctuary, Sections 1-4 (I-IV) and the
Deakter Ballroom, Sections 5-12 (V-XII).
FAMILY SERVICES (Gray tickets) will take place in the Perez Chapel with open seating.
. SPANISH SERVICE (Green tickets) will take place on Kol Nidre and Yom Kippur in the tent on the Mars Family Field.
. FEDERATION TICKETS (Blue tickets)– those holding Federation tickets are to sit in Sections 8, 10 or 12 in Deakter Hall.
USHERS
We have many dedicated Board Members as well as our Sisterhood and Men’s Club that assist us in helping our services
run smoothly. Please seek their assistance in locating your seats and please respect them when entering the Sanctuary.
There are many times in the service that entering could cause distractions. There will be times when the Scheck Family
Sanctuary doors will be closed and you will be asked to use the doors to Deakter Hall. Please follow the usher’s directions
at all times.
LOITERING IN THE LOBBY
We ask our congregants to restrict their activities in the lobby area during services. This poses both a security risk and a
disturbance to those members that are seated near the entranceways.
EREV ROSH HASHANAH
Wednesday, September 20, 6:45pm; Family Service/Tashlich, Thursday, September 21, 6:30pm; and Neilah, Saturday,
September 30, 6:30pm
If you are planning to attend these Services there is no assigned seating. For Security reasons, if you wish to bring family or
friends who do not have tickets, they must have a valid ID to show at the door to be admitted. The English service will take
place in the Perez Chapel and the Spanish service will take place in the Scheck Family Sanctuary on Wednesday, September
20. All congregants will be together for the service on Thursday evening September 21 and a special catered dinner with
advance reservations will be available. Please see flyer on page 6. All congregants will be together for the Neilah Service on
Saturday, September 30 to conclude the Yom Kippur Day.

SECURITY INFORMATION
Each year we assess our security needs and this year is no different. We do this by having numerous meetings with our
security company, Homeland Security Officials, Federation and the police department. We are always looking to improve
our security and we are grateful for the cooperation that we have received in the past and look forward to having that
same cooperation once again. What you see on sight is carefully planned out for the safety of our congregants.
Here are some tips to help you enter the premises:
. No person will be allowed to enter without a ticket and matching ID.
. Once the Main Parking Lot is filled, the gates will be closed and the gate will be turned into a pedestrian entrance.
Have your ticket and ID ready.
. When you approach the second pedestrian gate at the building, you will once again be asked for your ticket and ID.
. Be prepared to have bags checked, including but not limited to purses and Tallit bags.
. If you have a CCF, please notify Wayne Keil in the office.
. We will try and move everyone as quickly as possible, but please try to arrive early.
. Always listen to and respect our security personnel and the local Police who will be on site.
. If You See Something, Say Something!
NOTHING WILL BE DONE TO COMPROMISE THE SECURITY OF THE ENTIRE CONGREGATION TO
SATISFY THE NEEDS OF ANY INDIVIDUAL, SO PLEASE COOPERATE WITH BOTH OUR SECURITY
PERSONNEL AND OUR USHERS.
