Update February 23, 2022
We are delighted to announce further progress toward “normalcy” as we are no longer requiring registration to attend services and we are re-introducing Mask-Optional seating in the sanctuary during all prayer services. In order to make everyone feel welcome and comfortable in our large sanctuary, the southern pews (in both the men’s and women’s sections) are designated as Mask-Optional and the northern pews are designated as Mask-Only.
Masks are optional at Friday Night Lights, classes, and other events that take place before or after services.
Masks are still required in all other areas of the synagogue building including entryway, hallways, and bathrooms, and when entering or leaving the building.
We do ask EVERYONE who can to get boosted. We do require proof of vaccination and the best way to provide that is for ALL congregants (even if you've previously submitted your vaccine/booster proof), to update your vaccination and booster status by completing this simple form. This will make it easier for us to admit you to our services and other in-person activities.
