High Holidays - Accessibility

Hearing Assistance

Our Beit K’nesset Sanctuary and Beit T’fillah Chapel are equipped with the induction loop assistive-listening systems, designed to be used with hearing aids enabled to receive T-Coil transmissions in the Sanctuary and Chapel.

You are also welcome to use our public headsets, or to bring your own headset, which you can plug into our listening devices. Please note that our listening devices work best when worn around the neck with the lanyard we provide. We encourage you to contact your hearing specialist to determine if your hearing aid is enabled to receive T-Coil transmissions, which is a common feature for most hearing aids.

Security & Safety

Our on-site security guards, together with our volunteer ushers (wearing USHER badges), in coordination with the Redwood City Police, will act to maximize safety. We thank you for your cooperation with all of our team.

During busy times, there will be NO LEFT TURN from Alameda into the parking lot. The pedestrian entrance from the Goodwin Avenue gate will be open. For safety and security, please park only in marked stalls in our lot. Please do not cars park in the red zone of Alameda.

Virtual Access

Make your Zoom or webcam experience as meaningful as possible. Set aside distractions and create a holy space. We recommend you have your own book to follow along. If you are on Zoom, you can submit names to be read for Healing prayers and unmute for Mourner’s kaddish.

A Quiet Space 

 The Multi-Age Lounge  (Room 4) will be open as a quiet space. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Special thank you to Heather Hoffman for curating our library.

If you have further questions or requests regarding accessibility during the High Holidays, please contact Laura Hasse at cbj@bethjacobrwc.org.
