COVID-19 Update (Wed, Mar 18)
It saddens me to say it, but with the newer restrictions down to gatherings of ten or less, coupled with the recommendation that as much as possible people stay home, we have closed the building entirely. We
will not be having even Shabbat services until the government tells us things have improved.
While we can’t gather in person, we can still connect with one another. I’ve had people ask how they can help and I’ve had people ask for help, so we are connecting them. If there is anything we can do to help
you during this time, please let me know. And if you are willing to help out, contact me as well. We have
to engage in social distancing, we don’t have to be socially isolated. I am here for you, others are as well.
-------
While we won’t be gathering for prayer, there are synagogues that are set up to livestream, if it works,
you can find them here:

Personally, I assume that it won't work, but if you want it, let me know and I can send it to you directly.
