These sections are only for members who are at least two weeks past their final vaccines, or for members who have recovered from COVID within the past 3 months. At least one seat should be left empty between pods in the vaccinated seating.
- There will be a socially distant section where every third row will be available.

Rabbi's Note
Chaveireinu HaYikarim,
I want to thank everyone who attended the rally on Sunday. Our shul was fairly well represented. Virtually every speaker highlighted the fact that we should contact our Congressmen and Senators in Washington to convince them to support Israel and to demonstrate their opposition to the anti-Semitic rage against Jews which is being felt In all Jewish quarters. All members of Congress react to groups who share their sentiments with them. Let us hope that we can get the House and Senate to be outspoken defenders of Medinat Yisrael and Jews throughout the world.
