The building features a flexible sanctuary that comfortably seats 450 people for weekly services but can expand to 1,000 seats for High Holy Days with the use of sliding walls and gangable, stackable seating. The seating arrangement in either configuration is designed so congregants feel like a community rather than an audience.
