High Holiday Covid Guidelines

In order to keep our community safe and comfortable, here are the Covid guidelines we will exercise this year:

  • Masks are optional in the sanctuary.
  • There will be a mask only section furthest away from the choir in the sanctuary.
  • We ask everyone to test before each holiday and if you test positive to join us virtually. Please note, you do not need to test before each service, only once per holiday.
  • If you are experiencing any symptoms before service, please stay home and join us virtually.
  • Please wear a mask on your way to and from your seat while in the lobby and the hallways, and only remove the mask once you are seated (unless you are in the mask only section).
