Shabbat Morning
Service

ark symbol of Shabbat Morning Service

Saturday mornings at 9:30 am

We are now meeting in person every Shabbat either in the upstairs sanctuary or the downstairs classroom when the sanctuary is in use by Temple Beth Shalom.


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

Please see sidebar and check calendar for updates

Zoom information is provided in the weekly email

 You can also email Boris:
 president@roshpinah.com
 for Zoom information or a PDF copy of the service to use at home. We are now using the Lev Shalem Siddur.
