Cultivating Sanctity

 The lobby area outside the main sanctuary is a designated “Quiet Zone”. We ask people to socialize in the extensive areas available outside of this area.

We plead for self restraint on the part of worshipers.  At the very least, accept with grace the reminders of those who respectfully request that you limit your conversations.

 Your cooperation represents a crucial contribution to the serenity, beauty and warmth of worship in the RJC.
