Important Re-opening information and schedule

 

Thank G-d -we continue to move in a good direction: The emergency Covid regulations  for Houses of Worship issued by the Governor of Massachusetts will be rescinded effective  May 29. 2021. The Executive Board of B’nai Torah  has adopted the following COVID Policy  applicable to  our institution effective May 29, 2021:   Masking Policy: Masking  shall be required  in all indoor areas  of our shul buildings for all individuals including children who have not been fully vaccinated.   Individuals who may have had clinical symptoms of COVID, been diagnosed with COVID  by a medical provider, or had positive antibody test  results  during the pandemic but are not  fully vaccinated are not exempt from this masking  requirement.  Masks shall be worn in a manner to cover both the nose and mouth area. Individuals who are fully vaccinated for COVID are not required to be masked in the indoor areas of our shul buildings.  We acknowledge and support  the decisions  of  many fully vaccinated  congregants and visitors of the shul  to continue masking in our indoor spaces at this time due to personal concerns or circumstances. Masks will be made available at the entrance for those who arrive without one.   Seating in indoor areas (Note: To begin Sunday, May 30th 2021): Capacity Limits and spacing requirements required by the Governor’s Orders and CDC guidance for Houses of Worship  have been rescinded.  However, some congregants and visitors may  request others arriving  after them to  select  seating  at a social distance; kindly honor this request when other seating is available.   Kiddushes and Other Events Serving Food Inside the  Shul Buildings: All individuals are welcome to participate in these activities, however, to address COVID safety concerns, unvaccinated individuals  should keep a social distance from  fully vaccinated individuals when eating and masks are removed. Masks shall be reattached  after eating is completed  This policy will be periodically reviewed and is subject to change based on new C.D.C. guidance or to conform to new governmental regulations.
