In Person Shabbat Attendance Dec 4

At long last, the WJC will be resuming in-person Shabbat services! All of our services will also continue to be streamed on Zoom, so if you are a Zoom participant, not to worry, they will continue.
 
As we get rolling, only one Shabbat service each week will include in-person attendance. Please refer to our weekly newsletter or website for future dates and times as they are announced.

As we prepare to re-enter our sacred space, we need to clarify our shared responsibilities and commitments. To allow the community to enter and participate safely, we ask that all who attend agree to the following with great kavanah.
  
 All in-person participants must register in advance and upload their proof of full vaccination. Our volunteer Shabbat hosts will greet you at the door and check you in. No last minute check-ins will be available. 

• If you are feeling ill, do not attend in person. Join us online.
• Seating will be spread in assigned specific locations throughout the sanctuary. Please respect our efforts and do not move the chairs.
• Masks must be worn correctly at all times.
• Sadly, we will not be providing kiddush following the service.
• We will have large green and red stickers on hand, and will encourage all participants to choose a color to wear while they are in the building: Red means “Please maintain distance from me, I need to be cautious about physical contact.” Green means “I am comfortable with physical contact, feel free to come close.” We hope this makes it easier for us all to socialize in this strange new reality of ours.

We look forward to welcoming many of you back into your synagogue building and we thank our board of directors for working so hard to get us to this point. Please remember, we are all in this together, doing our very best to navigate uncharted waters. Patience and kindness are needed now more than ever. We will continue to adjust our course as we go. May our sacred gatherings refresh and inspire us, so that we can continue to meet life with our best selves.
