Note on COVID-19: We are planning hybrid services for the High Holy Days: you may choose to attend in person or virtually. Some services and activities will not be streamed - see above for details. Most in-person services will be held indoors and masks will be strongly recommended. Services will be held in the sanctuary; overflow seating with services streamed to a monitor will be available in another room in the building with fewer people. Meals will be served indoors, but seating will be available in the tent. If you register to attend in person you will also receive information on attending virtually should the need arise. Anyone with COVID symptoms is asked to attend the service virtually.
If health conditions deteriorate, we will, of course, update you as to any changes we must make for the well-being of our Eitz Chayim family.
