TAJ E-News
(May 31, 2020)
Our congregation stands for
JUSTICE, MERCY, AND COMPASSION.
Let us pray for our country, more than ever.
Let us draw close to our Messiah.
He is our only answer!
*****
Our congregation is planning to reopen this Shabbat,
Lord willing.
We can only allow 45 people at the morning service.
If you are planning to come on Shabbat,
each person needs to make a reservation
online at avivjudea.org .
Scroll down to the bottom and
you need to fill out the reservation and disclaimer form.
You need to check ALL five boxes if you are in agreement.
For the next few weeks, there will be no children and no teens.
We will revisit this after the 15th of June.
For more extensive guidelines, you will find them on our website.
The situation is fluid so please keep connected to our site.
With only 45 seats, please choose
one of the next two shabbats to come.
We will have security and we will have the building disinfected prior to the Shabbat.
We must follow the laws of the land.
*****
For those who are immune-compromised, or have a fever,
and for those who are not comfortable to come yet,
remember, we will be continuing to live-stream our services.
We at TAJ are committed to tape our services from now on.
