(You may chose pick up or home delivery.) If you have any questions regarding the borrowing of items, please email mail@etchchaimme.org or call (207) 284-5771.

Security will be present at the synagogue with guards stationed outside the front door. A community greeter will welcome you as you arrive. No backpacks are allowed in the building.

Handicapped parking will be available in front of the synagogue. All others may find parking on the street or in the nearby Biddeford Police station lot (39 Alfred St.) or Foss Street lot. Congregation Etz Chaim will pay for your parking in either of these lots. Please enter your license plate number at registration.
