Security update:
There is a very large underground bomb shelter directly
behind the Shul. In case of siren, use emergency exit through
men's bathroom or exit on left side of the Aron. Once you enter
the shelter, quickly go down flight of stairs and go as far back
as possible in the shelter. If you have difficulty with stairs,
safest area is in the back room of the shul (not near the glass
doors).
