Weekly Brief

• Non vaccinated individuals should please refrain from attending any minyanim or groups for 10 days if you traveled outside NJ, NY, PA, CT  or DE.
• No quarantine is required for individuals who are two weeks post their second vaccine (single vaccine if J & J was administered). 

Shabbat Minyanim Update

• There will be vaccinated sections in the Main Shul and in the Beit Midrash. 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. Multiple pods may sit in one row, but when selecting seats please leave at least 3 seats between different seated pods in your row. This will enable the Main Shul to maintain the required 6 foot distancing in the unvaccinated sections. 
• In following the State of New Jersey’s guidelines, https://covid19.nj.gov, masks are required in indoor public spaces and youth groups.  Masks are optional for those attending outdoor minyanim.
