Additional COVID Precautions

To support all our members who want to join in person for services, but may still require additional COVID precautions, we are happy to announce two special enhancements. For all formal services, members can attend a livestream in Greenwald Hall, where masks and social distancing will be required. For Shir Chadash, Teen Worship and Family Worship Services, a mask required section will be available in the Sanctuary.
