Announcements

NEW: Schedules from Rosh HaShanah to Pesach 5781 Shalosh Seudos will not take place in shul this week.

The Rebbitzen Ruderman library will be closed for the next few weeks. After that time we will reassess.

Please daven for Yitchok ben Yenta.

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.


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.
