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

We have met with Rabbi Judith (our facilitator) and have made a few changes which we believe will be beneficial for our group.
All our meetings will be on the First Tuesdays of the month except for two (which are holidays). Please see calendar listed below for dates. This should make it easier for everyone's schedule by having our meeting on a consistent day of the month.
We will continue with the Schmooze at 7pm, but will start the meeting at 7:15pm promptly. The meeting will end at 8:15pm and Rabbi Judith will leave the Zoom room open so the Schmooze can continue for those interested in continuing to talk to one another.
Enjoy the wonderful weather and we will send you more information about our September 2 meeting in August.
Judy, Janet & Beverly
