Rules of Attendance

Dear Friends,

Considering new CDC recommendations and the current state of the pandemic, Temple Israel is updating our policies.

As of Friday, March 11, 2022, we are implementing a flexible policy that will match Seminole County week-by-week risk rates.

The risk level will be posted on the lobby, office, and MAGAL school doors, in the Shabbat handout, and in the weekly bulletin.

As we safely ease our restrictions, we look forward to seeing more people participating in the vibrant life of our community.

For those who cannot yet return in person, please rest assured that we will continue our livestream and zoom connections which have enriched our community so much.

We appreciate your continued compliance no matter the risk level.
We ask for your continued patience, respect, and understanding of each other.
Each person will be responsible for themselves and their own health risks as discussed with their physician.
Acceptance of each other’s level of comfort is crucial to our community.
If there are any questions, please speak with a Board Member or Gabbai.

Be well and see you in Shul!
