One of America’s truly grand sanctuaries, Temple Ohabei Shalom is modeled on themes from Hagia Sophia and the Great Synagogue of Florence, Italy. With its majestic domed ceiling and cantilevered balcony, this historic structure accommodates 1200 guests. Available for b’nei mitzvah, weddings, concerts and graduations, we are pleased to open our Sanctuary to non-members as well as members.

Available for smaller religious gatherings, concerts and lectures, Montague Chapel can accommodate 250 individuals. Located above Lissner Hall, its kaleidoscope of stained glass windows and raised bimah provide a warm, intimate setting.

Penn-Spero Banquet Hall, equipped with a permanent raised stage and dance floor, can comfortably accommodate approximately 300 guests. Through the years, it has hosted graduations, award ceremonies, plays, concerts, speaker series, and fundraisers as well as thousands of B’nei Mitzvah parties and wedding receptions. A full-service kitchen and prep room stand ready for your caterer’s use. Wifi, sound and visual equipment are also available.

Lissner Hall is just right for medium to small events. Cocktail receptions, executive meetings, retreats, book signings and exhibitions all work well in this versatile space. Seated dinners for approximately 100 are easily accommodated with a capacity of about 150 standing. Located immediately below Montague Chapel, Lissner Hall has its very own smaller caterer’s kitchen ensuring guests’ needs are met regardless of other events happening simultaneously on our campus.

Meeting Rooms

Several small meeting rooms for boardroom or classroom style meetings are also available.
