Weekly Brief

Shabbat Minyanim Update

• Starting today, Friday, May 28th 
  Masks and distancing are optional for anyone who is fully vaccinated. Masks and distancing are required for anyone who is not fully vaccinated. Masks and distancing are required for youth groups. 
  
  People are considered fully vaccinated: 
  - 2 weeks after their second dose in a 2-dose series, such as the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, or
  - 2 weeks after a single-dose vaccine, such as Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine
  
  
• 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.
