The Independent Jewish Community
An inclusive and egalitarian congregation
Dear IJC members and friends,
We are thrilled to be holding our High Holyday Services LIVE this season in addition to on-line services as we have done the past couple of years.
In order to provide a safe and hospitable environment to every one of our congregants at the Brown Middle School at 125 Meadowbrook Rd., Newton Centre, we ask that all “in person” participants adhere to the following rules:
-
Please, only attend if you are fully vaccinated!!! This includes children.
-
Wear a mask at all times unless you are speaking/singing/chanting at the Bema! This is a common courtesy to your fellow congregants, many of whom may be highly vulnerable individuals.
-
There will be plenty of room to spread out, so please do! We ask that you leave a “gap” of at least two empty seats between groups.
-
On Rosh Hashanah, refreshments will be served outdoors on the patio – please respect others by masking indoors at all times.
Please respect others who arrive before you, abide by the following “DON’Ts:
-
Do not sit near other congregants that are not in your self-selected group!!
-
Do not ask if they “mind if we sit near you.” They likely arrived early to make sure they were isolated – respect that and do not put them in an uncomfortable position of needing to “refuse” you.
If you feel that you cannot follow these rules, we will miss you, but ask that you join the services on-line. We will look forward to seeing you next year!
