Parking at Caramoor
Having hundreds of cars park quickly and safely is a big challenge. Please help us in the following ways:
- Plan to arrive before services begin. In the event of inclement weather, it becomes even more essential that you arrive early as there is no covered area in which to wait while checking in.
- Handicapped parking is available. Please display a valid sticker or plate from your state.
- A 5785 Parking Pass will be included with your tickets. This is valid for ALL services. Please do not discard it after Rosh Hashanah.
- Please attend in one car per family. Only one Parking Pass is issued per family. Large families taking more than one car to Caramoor must request a second pass from the office.
- The Parking Pass should be displayed on the driver's side of your dashboard. Anyone without a pass will be stopped to show their tickets and ID to the security officer at the entrance, and may be denied entry.
- In light of our enhanced security procedures, we reserve the right to deny entry to anyone without a pass or tickets.
Parking at Shaaray on Second Day of Rosh Hashanah
- We will park as normal in the back lot, Early Childhood lot, and on the field. Please listen to directions from security.
Seating
To facilitate the seating in the Main Tent, we ask that you please observe the following seating requests:
- As your family takes their seats, please do NOT save seats for friends and family members.
- If you have a part in a particular service, please either sit in the first 5 rows towards the front, or move forward 5 minutes before your part, when you’ll go onto the Bima.
Decorum
- No one is allowed to climb trees, destroy plants, or pick flowers on the Caramoor grounds.
- Running around the tents, and loud and raucous play are also not appropriate.
- Electronic devices may not be used in any of the tents. Use of such devices in the fields outside of the tents is also discouraged.
- While we encourage children to meet with their friends before and after services, we discourage the playing of cards and other games.
- Teens must stay in the main tent until it is time for their services and then proceed to the teen tent. We do not allow teens or children to roam the grounds unaccompanied.
