Parshat Behaalotkha
May 28-29 (Sivan 17-18)

Current COVID Related Policy
No sign up needed for minyan.

In keeping with Governor Murphy’s announcement about a change in the NJ Mask Mandate effective this Friday, May 28:
· Masks are optional for anyone who is fully vaccinated.
· Masks are required for anyone who is not fully vaccinated.
· As we have been doing for several weeks, people who are fully vaccinated may sit with people from other households. Socially distanced seating will remain available for now for those not yet full vaccinated or who prefer to maintain distance.

People are considered fully vaccinated:
· 2 weeks after their second dose in a 2-dose series of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, or
· 2 weeks after a single-dose vaccine the Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine

We ask everyone to keep in mind that there are members of our community who are immunocompromised or for whom the vaccine either may not be an option or may not be fully effective. Therefore, it is incumbent upon all of us to act responsibly. Adults and children who are not yet vaccinated for any reason must continue to wear masks. If wearing a mask yourself will encourage your children to do so, you are also encouraged to continue wearing a mask. 

While rare, cases have been reported in fully vaccinated individuals. Therefore, if you are experiencing any symptoms of SARS-CoV2, you should not attend services or other in person shul programs.

While the governor has also eliminated the requirement for social distancing, we will continue, for now, to provide some seating that is distanced for those for those who need to or prefer to continue to maintain distancing.

Shavuot

We are going to try Shavuot minyanim without sign up.
 
There will be both indoor and outdoor minyanim and shiurim. There is extra seating in the indoor now since vaccinated people may sit together without social distancing. However, seating will be first come, first seated. If there are no spaces available when you arrive, you may go to the outdoor minyan.
 
Please note, while the CDC new guidelines say vaccinated people do not need to wear masks indoors, Governor Murphy has not lifted the mask mandate for NJ. Therefore, masks are required at indoor minyanim and shiurim. People who are not yet fully vaccinated should continue to wear masks outside as well.
