This past week the ReOpen Task Force met and after a lengthy, in-depth discussion made changes to our COVID-19 protocols. The biggest change is that we now require proof of vaccination or proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken within 36 hours to attend services or an event. This also applies to the staff. We have seen firsthand how contagious the Delta variant is and must take more precautions to keep our members, guests, and staff safe from the virus.
Masks are required at all times in the building and anyone not properly wearing a mask will be asked to do if they do not comply will be asked to leave.
All of the protocols are posted under the COVID-19 section of the website and can be seen here.
So much is happening in the building. Many projects designed to make the building our home are being completed in anticipation of the High Holidays. The furniture is installed in the Bill Solomon Gallery, so we now have a place to sit, gather or read quietly. Panels are installed in the lobby to improve the acoustics and tomorrow, some of our legacy stained glass is being installed.
Our contractor, BSI, is working to complete the ECC in anticipation of it opening on September 1st. The ECC furniture is coming out of storage, new equipment is being delivered and the staff is preparing for the children.
On Sunday the Tzedek team hosted a meeting in the courtyard where we learned from members of the Sierra Club about the Mayors for 100% Clean Energy project. We also gave guided tours of the building so our members and their guests could see, many for the first time, the results of the hard work and many hours our volunteers have put in to make our building a realty.
With the new protocols we will continue to figure out how we can come together safely and enjoy this wonderful spiritual space we have worked so hard to create.
