CBST COVID Protocols
GUIDELINES UPDATED AS OF 9-12-24
Along with Jewish communities around the world, anticipation of High Holy Days comes with joy and excitement, together with the awareness of extra risk associated with large gatherings. Continuing escalation of COVID-19 will hopefully be checked with newly formulated vaccines to better match circulating strains. At CBST, we aim to protect each other, to spread accurate practical information, and to take special care to keep our clergy and staff safe.
Once again, CBST’s Science and Medical Team asks that we rededicate to the practices that have served our community:
- If you have, or have recently recovered from, respiratory symptoms, please do not attend in-person events. All services will be livestreamed, and we will look forward to welcoming you back soon!
- Consider wearing a mask, especially while moving through congested areas.
- Please respect personal space by not automatically moving to embrace others. This simple practice was especially effective in protecting our clergy in prior High Holy Day seasons!
- Keep up to date on vaccinations for Flu and COVID. The more of us who are vaccinated before we gather at the Masonic Hall and the Jacob Javits Center, the more effective our efforts will be.
- If you are at risk for m-pox (Mpox – NYC Health), consider reaching out to your healthcare provider to discuss vaccination.
Sincere thanks, and healthy and joyous New Year to all!
Please note these policies are subject to change. Be sure to check back here for the most up-to-date information regarding safety and masking policies.
