COVID POLICY
No vaccinations are required for attendance to services, BUT we strongly encourage members to become vaccinated, including the latest bivalent vaccine. Masks are optional. We will designate two areas in the sanctuary, one for masks – one for no masks. When more than one person is in the Bimah, everyone must be masked because of the close proximity of one to another. Encourage safe distancing. As the weather gets warmer, we will ensure good ventilation and, when possible, have kiddush outdoors. We require members to stay home if they are sick or have been exposed to COVID. They have to test themselves before returning
We are in the downstairs classroom or upstairs in the main sanctuary when it is not in use by the Temple Beth Shalom congregation.
Kiddush will follow services. Please check the 'Calendar' page
which is updated more frequently than this page for the most up-to-date schedule of special shabbat events.
