Summary
B'nai Amoona Health & Safety Protocol Update
Our new protocols will be in effect starting Monday, November 15, 2021
Shalom,
As we continue to navigate through the Covid-19 pandemic, we remain committed to the health and wellbeing of our members, community, and the world at large.
We believe that upholding this commitment begins by taking the recommendations made by public health organizations as well as our own Doctors of B’nai Amoona (DOBA) Committee to heart and adjusting our health and safety protocols as needed.
It is with this in mind, that we have once again updated our Health and Safety Protocols to include the following:
Beginning on Monday, November 15, 2021, individuals who are eligible to receive the Covid-19 vaccine (individuals 12 years and older) will be required to show either proof of vaccination against Covid-19 or written proof of a negative Covid-19 test administered within the preceding 48 hours. We will accept a negative PCR, antigen or rapid Covid-19 test result.
Some latitude will be given to 12 year olds on a case by case basis as we recognize the inability to get a vaccine right away once turning 12 years old.
Individuals 2 years and older will continue to wear a mask. During Kiddush and when there are other opportunities to eat, we ask that you wear your mask whennot seated and eating.
The above protocol is to be followed for all Services, programs and events on the B’nai Amoona campus beginning Monday, November 15, 2021.
We are thrilled to continue to offer both in-person and virtual ways to connect with one another and appreciate your cooperation and understanding. Along with our DOBA Committee, we value the input of our Kehillah and welcome your feedback and any questions you have.
Todah Rabbah, Jeff Singer, President
