COVID-19 Safety at Kol Rinah
Kol Rinah is Committed to Safety
These recommendation are based on what we know now. As the experts learn more about COVID -19 and the infection rate in our community changes, we will adjust the recommendations as needed and communicate the changes to the congregation.
Until a vaccine is widely available, the use of the building is restricted and closely monitored.

COVID-19 Safety at Kol Rinah
We practice social distancing and masks are required.
Our COVID-19 protocols and safety precautions are not static, they will change as there are changes with COVID-19 in the community and with construction. This PDF can give you our latest Protocols. (We are in Phase A)

COVID 19 Vaccine Information
The St. Louis County Department of Public Health follows state tiers and guidelines to determine how the vaccine becomes available and only people in Phase 1A (healthcare workers and long-term care facility residents and staff) are currently authorized to be vaccinated.
We eagerly await phase 1B, which allows vaccination for individuals over age 65 or those with increased risk for COVID-19 illness. Notification and pre-registration systems have been launched by our metro area counties and can be accessed here:
St. Louis County Department of Public Health link to pre-register for the COVID-19 vaccine and explanation of the vaccination tiers and guidelines.

Please stay vigilant as COVID-19 scams and fraud are evolving. Here’s what to know about the COVID-19 vaccine to protect yourself from scams.
COVID-19 Safety in KoREH
Our Kol Rinah Education Hub (KoREH) leaders have been working throughout the summer to adapt and change our lessons and educational models to meet the needs of families during this pandemic. As of this writing, we are still planning to meet starting after the High Holidays in a largely modified format once a week, with smaller class pods to limit exposure, everyone masked and strict procedures governing our interactions. We are also supplementing our classroom learning with virtual 1-1 tutoring, as well as virtual learning, for any families who are unable to be with us in person for any reason.
We know any of these plans may need to change given new information over the next few months. We will continue to adapt together through the challenges ahead. Just as in any other year, your community is here for you, to nourish and guide you, to help and to hear you, to sustain you and to enable you to reach each new part of your journey.
