Important: As many people will be walking to shul over the next few weeks we urge everyone to exercise caution when crossing San Jose Blvd. Due to the many cars that make a right turn from San Jose to McDonalds, we also recommend that people cross the north side of the intersection (Village Inn) when coming to shul.
