Wear whatever makes you feel comfortable and present.
Most people choose business casual to business wear for Shabbat. You will see people in suits, jeans, and everything in between.
On the High Holidays, people tend to dress more formally. On Yom Kippur, some members choose to dress in white, and opt not to wear leather belts or leather shoes.
Absolutely. Temple Concord is a proudly inclusive Reform congregation.
We treasure our interfaith families, welcome curious visitors and those looking to explore Judaism, and invite anyone who wants to learn or pray with us to join us for events and services.
Parking is abundant in the lot at 450 Kimber Road, where Temple Concord holds services. There is ample accessible parking as well, though there is a bit of a walk into the building. There is a drop off area that is closer to the entrance, if you have a passenger with mobility issues.
Worship and programs are held at Temple Concord’s temporary location, a shared space with Temple Adath Yeshurun, while we plan our permanent location. Both congregations are located at 450 Kimber Road, Syracuse, NY 13224.
Look for our signs and greeters near the entrance.
For Shabbat services, Sunday school, and other programs and special events: Please enter through the canopied entrance on the left of the building.

Yes — children bring life and energy to our congregation.
We encourage families to bring kids of all ages to Shabbat and holiday services.
We also offer special family services and programs throughout the year, including monthly Tot Shabbat, services led by our religious school classes, and an Epstein Shabbat, welcoming teens and their families from the Epstein School.
We offer children’s programming for select holidays and special events.
Details will always be included on the event page and in our weekly e-bulletin.
For most Shabbat services, children remain with their families in our chapel, and there is a children’s area with toys, books, and a table and chairs sized for our youngest members. We love welcoming children to services!
