Shul COVID-19 Changes

מנינים update: In order to enable people to daven at the time of their choice and to ensure social distancing at all מנינים, we are monitoring the מנינים and adjusting accordingly. We are also working to ensure that no one comes to Shul at a scheduled time for a תפילה and does not find a מנין.

Face Masks: The Rav has stated that face masks covering the mouth and nose must be worn at all times at the Agudah building. This applies even when learning, davening for the amud, or leining for the tzibbur. One who is unable to comply should not enter the building.

Family members (from the same household) must sit next to each other so as to leave available more areas with proper social spacing.

Outdoor minyan: The Agudah would like to support an outdoor minyan in the parking lot to accommodate those unable to enter the building. Please reach out to President Aryeh Katz if you'd like to participate.

Non-members should choose Minyanim which have sufficient space for members and their children to sit with social distancing.

עזרת נשים: On שבת morning, the balcony will be available for women. The second floor עזרת נשים will be available for overflow men.

שמות: Many people are currently dropping off שמות. To avoid pile up, if you need to drop off more than the equivalent of one box, please call Michael Fulda (410.358.1234) and schedule a drop off.
