Project Aliyah / Current Covid Protocols
Project Aliyah is our building-reopening and health & safety team, made up of a diverse group of members. We take a reasoned approach to Covid protocols, balancing public health advice, community conditions and Jewish values around taking care of others, along with the needs and wants of our members. We want to hear from you at: project.aliyah@habonim.net.
Current Covid Protocols: Those attending services in person must be fully vaccinated and boosted and wear a higher-level mask (KN95, N-95, KF94 or equivalent) or a surgical mask with a fabric mask over it. Attendees who have been exposed to Covid in the past week or are on days 6-14 of their own infection are required to take a rapid (antigen) test just prior. If you test positive or are sick, we welcome your attendance on Zoom or livestream!
