Sharing here our congregation's updated COVID-19 safety policy. We are deeply grateful for the team of members who have shared their time and expertise on an ongoing basis since the frenetic scramble to Purim 2020: Liore Klein, Mattan Schuchman, Sara Eisenberg, Kenne Dibner, Liz Gordon, Sholem Berger, Natalie Spicyn, Michele Levy, and Rabbi Ariana Katz. This team has given considerable thought to the needs of our community and considered the best practices outlined by the CDC, other organizations, and their professional and communal experience.
We know that this season of transition brings with it a range of emotions: desire to see community and loved ones, shock of returning together, fear of being left out if we're not ready or able to be in person, desire for our physical health and safety, and much more. Hinenu is committed to ensuring that our offerings continue to be virtual as well as in person, and that the community that has grown because of virtual access continues into the years ahead. While masking is not required for outdoor gatherings, you are encouraged to wear a mask if you are unvaccinated or feel safer with one on. And of course, you are welcome to tune in online!
We warmly invite you to begin visiting with community in person as you are able and wish, with adherence to the guidelines outlined in the document. In July, we will begin offering in-person service and gathering opportunities. Stay tuned for a questionnaire regarding the High Holy Days!
