beth Israel's updated covid-19 protocols as of August 5, 2021
Beth Israel Synagogue is reinstating a mask policy for all synagogue attendees 5 years old and older, effective immediately. This mask requirement will be in place until such time that positivity rates slow.
Those called to the bima for a Torah honor, to open the ark, or to lead Anim Zemirot are to remain masked.
As for Kiddush, pre-packaged foods will be provided and served outside in the Sukkah.
If you have had surgery within the last three months, have a compromised immune system or have been potentially exposed to the Covid-19 virus, we ask that you follow current health officials' recommendations and refrain from attending services.
Thank you for your cooperation, understanding and compliance.
