Accessibility and Special Access

We have many ways to make our services more accessible.

Reserved Parking Spaces: The first row of Temple’s south parking lot will be reserved for accessible parking on a first-come first-served basis.

Golf Cart Rides: Temple is providing a fleet of golf carts for rides to the building entrances. Park anywhere in either the north or south lots and stand by your car and a driver will pick you up and bring you to the designated entrance.

Designated Entrance: Temple’s accessibility entrance is located on the east side of the building and leads in to Olan Sanctuary. As you enter the parking lot, just let security officers know you are headed to the accessible entrance and they will direct you. After you are dropped off, volunteers will be able to assist you to your seat while the driver parks.

Shuttle: Continuously running shuttles are available from NorthPark Center (in the Macy’s parking lot facing Park Lane). The shuttles will take you directly to the Nasher-Haemisegger Family Atrium entrance. Please be prepared to show your QR code before boarding the shuttle.

Online Services

If you choose to attend Temple’s beautiful online services, it’s easy to find the livestream. Please visit the homepage of tedallas.org, and you’ll find prominent links to the High Holy Days services as the dates get closer. If you want to watch at a later time, the recordings will be available shortly after the conclusion of each streamed service.

Access to Temple

Your digital admission QR code will allow you access to the building for the services that you are registered for. The QR code will work on your phone or printed.

To access the parking lot or get on the shuttle from North Park Center on the days of services, security will be looking for your Temple car decal. If you do not have one your QR code will also grant you access. Members may pick up car decals with a government issued ID at the front desk.
