Shabbat Shalom Thursday, June 9, 2022/12 Sivan 5782
(MAY BE REVISED FOR FINAL VERSION GOING OUT TOMORROW) In-person Shabbat and some other services have resumed at Habonim for masked and fully vaccinated (including booster shots) attendees. Zoom, or on occasion, livestream, access is also available. Everyone attending in person is required to wear a higher-level mask (KN95, N-95, KF94 or equivalent) or a surgical mask with a fabric mask on top of it. Also, anyone who is attending and has been exposed to COVID in the past week or is on days 6-14 of their own COVID infection is required to take a rapid (antigen) test just before coming to make sure they are not contagious. If anyone has a positive rapid test, they are likely contagious, and should join by Zoom or livestream. We will have K-95 masks available for those who don't have (both adult and kids' size). These coupled best practices should ensure the safest possible gathering.
