Please join us to learn about the Security Vestibule! The Security Committee is proposing to construct a security vestibule in front of the main entrance to island Synagogue. This is a significant project which would need to be approved by the congregation (at a future "special meeting" or at the Annual Meeting) as well as the board. We have prepared information about the proposal which you can see if you CLICK HERE.  Please review this information before the meeting, and come with questions. There will be no binding vote at this meeting - it is strictly to communicate with the membership and take feedback.
