Service is in English and is held on Sundays at 11 am (except on Labor Day weekend). See the Calendar and our Facebook page for classes and special events. Parking is available in our small lot at 4641 N. Racine, a one-way street best accessed off Wilson. There is free street parking in the neighborhood west of the temple (but not on Racine, which is permit parking). We are one block from the Wilson red line station and near the Broadway, Clark, Lawrence, and Montrose bus lines.
