As we begin to feel the first hints of spring we are also able to see the beginning of the end of the COVID-19 pandemic. It has been a long two years and we all are ready to reconnect to our communities in ways we have not been able to in quite some time.
In this light, we have been able to make some significant changes to our COVID policies that reflect our local COVID risk level and the guidance from the CDC and the Vermont Department of Health. We will still be requiring vaccination for all adults that enter our building, but have made changes to our policies on masking, food, and children. Please see our changes below.
We understand that although many individuals are ready to embrace these changes with joy, we also recognize that these changes may bring feelings of apprehension and fear for others. Everyone in our community has differing health factors, feelings, and needs to feel safe. We hope that our congregants continue to connect in ways that are best for them. Let's please support and care for each other as we move forward.
Please feel free to ask questions to our health officer, Amy Wenger (amy.wenger@jcogs.com) or our president Steve Levine for any clarification as needed.
May brighter days be ahead,
Steve Levine, president Amy Wenger, health officer Rabbi David Fainsilber
