The Adas Yoshuron COVID Response Team appreciates everyone’s support. These past three years have clearly been difficult for everyone, and our goal has been to provide a safe environment for our congregation and guests. We continue tofollow clinical recommendations and literature with the goal of continuing to offer a safe and inclusive spiritual home.

• Masks are optional at all Adas Yoshuron services and events unless a program is specifically designated a “mask-required event.” High-quality masks are available for those who wish to mask at services (N95, KN95, and KF94 masks have been shown to be significantly more effective than cloth masks).

• COVID-19 vaccinations and boosters are no longer required for in-person attendance at Adas Yoshuron events. The Adas Yoshuron COVID Response Team continues to recommend receiving all vaccinations for which you are eligible; currently the bivalent booster is most effective at preventing severe disease. People 65 and older or at high risk of complications of COVID-19 are now eligible for an additional bivalent booster.

• To minimize risk to our community, if you test positive for COVID or have a known exposure to COVID, do not attend any in-person events, and follow current CDC safety guidelines for quarantining and masking. If you are experiencing any COVID-related symptoms, please join us online, or in person when you are well and test negative for COVID.

• Adas Yoshuron will continue to offer a mix of indoor, outdoor, and online programming.

• High-efficiency portable air (HEPA) filters are in use in the synagogue building.

Virtual alternatives to in-person services and events will be offered if feasible. We value being together as a community, whether in person or virtually, as we continue to support and care for one another.
