will be made
available. Specifically:
Islamic: 5 times daily and noon to 3:00 PM on Friday.
Jewish: 3 times daily and 9:00 to 11:00 AM on Saturday.
Christian: Daily masses and 9:00 to 11:00 AM on Sunday.
No formal training sessions will take place from Friday afternoon
until after nightfall on Saturday to accommodate participants and
staff of the Jewish faith.
