A member of a Synagogue (and a member of the Synagogue Board of Directors), Person A, is the subject of a felony complaint filed by the estranged husband of another member, Person B, (he is not officially a member). As part of the felony complaint, the Board member, Person A, must have no contact with the complainant, Person B. Is there a legal method for the Synagogue and/or it's Board to legally bar the complainant, Person B, from entering the building?

In general the stay away order would apply to B at the Synagogue when A is there. If A is there a lot, then a procedure could be worked out to give B separate access when it is known for sure A will not be there. Of course B would be foolish to even enter the Synagogue when A is there as the police could then be called to deal with it.
