Thank you to everyone who filled out our Attendance Policy Survey that was sent out last week. We are pleased to report that of the over 150 respondents, over 90% have been vaccinated to date. Based on the advice of our medical advisement committee, and your feedback, we have adjusted our mask policy as follows effective immediately:

In line with the CDC's recent guidelines, if you have been fully vaccinated (2 weeks out from your 2nd Modena/Pfizer shot or your one J&J shot), you do not need to wear a mask. If you have not been fully vaccinated, we ask you to continue to wear a mask while in the building out of courtesy to your fellow members and attendees at services, programs, and events. 

We will continue to have disposable surgical masks available at the entrance to both the building and sanctuary for those who wish to wear them. We have also procured a supply of KN-95 masks for those who prefer their additional protection.

We will continue to update you as we continue towards full reopening in the coming weeks and months, such as the resumption of kiddush on Shabbat, and in-person programming during the week. We look forward to seeing your smiling faces this and every Saturday morning as we hold Shabbat morning services and at upcoming programs and events.
