Accessibility and Mobility Concerns
Congregation Shaare Emeth is a two-level building. All of our parking lots are wheelchair accessible with ample parking for those that have appropriate permits for parking in restricted spaces. All main doors are wheelchair accessible by ramps.
There are also ample wheelchairs on site for those that might need assistance while in the building. Please ask the front desk attendant at anytime for assistance. Please feel free to call or email us with suggestions to help us improve our accessibility. Don Kriss, our Executive Director can be reached at 314-569-0010, or by email at dkriss@shaare-emeth.org.
