ואני ברוב חסדך אבוא ביתך אשתחוה אל היכל קדשך ביראתיך
We have all longed to return to Shul, our בית מקדש מעט. Our Shuls have always been the place where we connect with the רבש"ע through תורה ותפילה and to have the zechus of davening with a minyan is a great simcha.
As we begin the process of opening the doors, in order to maintain the proper קדושה of the Shul, please make sure you cellphone is off when entering into the Bais Medrash.
Under the guidance of our Rabbonim and per Government direction, our Shul will be opening for minyanim only at this time. These are the guidelines in place as of now that must be strictly adhered to.
· Each minyan may only have 10 men. Therefore, attendance will be limited to Men and boys over Bar Mitzvah.
· If you are over 60 you will need to have been cleared by a physician before joining any minyan. · There will be a compliance gabbai appointed for each minyan to ensure all guidelines are being followed. You must follow any instructions the gabbai gives. · You may only attend the minyan you are registered for and it needs to be a serious commitment that you will attend every day and come on time and stay until the end. If you can’t make it to one of your confirmed minyanim, it is your responsibility to find someone to replace you. · Everyone will have a seat with at least 6-foot social distancing. · Please make sure to bring a Mask, as they must always be worn whenever you are in Shul and when entering or leaving the Shul. · Please bring your own siddur and chumash (on Shabbos they will be provided by the Shul). Please do not use any of the seforim in the Shul. · The men’s room should only be used for emergencies. · There should be no congregating in the Shul, hallway or outside the Shul. · At this time, there will not be any food or drinks in the Shul building. · Please sanitize your hands upon entering and leaving the Shul. · After each minyan the surfaces will be disinfected. Do not come to Shul if: · You feel ill or have any Covid-19 symptoms. · You had or think you may have had Covid-19, or have come in contact with someone who had Covid-19, you need to be cleared by a physician to attend the minyan. · If you have any pre-existing conditions that may cause complications with Covid-19 needs to be cleared by your physician to attend the minyan.
Please read through the guidelines carefully and sign up here: https://calendly.com/koyc If there are not time slots available for a day, please email officeoyc@gmail.com your requested day and minyan and you will be put on a waiting list and we will do everything we can to accomodate.
It is a wonderful zechus that we can return to Shul, our מקדש מעט. May we be zoche that our Tefillos be answered.
