Back in November, we moved from in-person services on Shabbat to a service only on livestream. No one was vaccinated then, and this was an obvious case of pikuach nefesh - the obligation to save lives by not meeting in person.

Now the time has come to begin to gently re-open our shul. Most adults have had at least one vaccination, and some have now had two. The case numbers are declining rapidly. 


So, starting next week, June 19, we will begin to meet again on Shabbat. Masks and distancing will still be required.

As the summer progresses, and more people get their vaccinations, we hope to be able to reopen more fully (including kiddush!). And when the time comes, we will mark this milestone with a celebration at Beth Shalom.

We will also continue livestreaming our service, so that those who aren't comfortable yet in coming to shul, and those who aren't able to come, will continue to be able to see and hear our Shabbat morning service.

We've been through a lot this past year and a half. Thankfully, it looks like the pandemic is beginning to come under control and, we pray, may it soon be over.
