Lubavitch Aventura South is an Orthodox Jewish institution and observes the traditions of Jewish law. Please respect the sanctity of our environment by adhering to these guidelines:

• Suggested dress code: Hosts and guests should dress modestly, as they will be in a place of worship. Men should wear a Yarmulka or other appropriate head covering. Vendors should make their best efforts to have all staff dressed conservatively.
• Seating: men and women may sit together in any of the ballrooms, however separate seating is required in the sanctuary for services.
• Any event taking place on a Shabbat or Jewish holidays, must be supervised by an Orthodox Rabbi, approved by Rabbi Rosenfeld.
• All rented furniture or decoration used on a Shabbat or Chag event, must remain in our facilities through Shabbat, and picked up on Sunday morning.
• If you will be bringing a rabbi other than our rabbi to officiate at your event, you must notify us in writing or by email at least 2 weeks before so we can verify that he is recognized by the orthodox rabbinate of Greater Miami.
• Outside food may not be brought into the Lubavitch Aventura South building for any function. Candies or other food items that you wish to add, must be given to the caterer and approved for kashrut by their mashgiach/rabbi.
• On Shabbos and Chagim, phones, cameras and money handling are strictly prohibited throughout the property.
• To preserve our tradition of modesty, men and women must dance separately.
• No female vocalists are permitted except in front of an exclusively female audience.
• To respect the sanctity of our synagogue, female photographers are not permitted in the men's section during prayers or religious services.
