Sunday:  Parking is available at George Watts Elementary School, Grace Lutheran Church,  Durham School of the Arts and street parking north of Markham.
 
  We will NOT be running a shuttle, but the parking lot at DSA (on the corner of Duke and Trinity) is within walking distance of Beth El.  If you are responsible for transporting members who can not or will not walk several blocks, please feel free to drop them at Beth El before proceeding to the parking lot.  Beth El will remain open after Kol Nidre services so that you will have time to retrieve your car and pick up your passengers.
