- Help
reduce the spread of winter viruses. Greet your friends with a
smile :-), instead of a handshake. For additional
suggested greetings, see here; Cohanim
and Star Trek fans see #4 here. [To preempt queries, note that the
message is serious; the links are in the spirit of Purim.]

הדבקות, הנכם מתבקשים לא ללחוץ ידים. במקום זאת ניתן לתת
חיוך לבבי. דרכים אחרות לברך את שכניך כאן, ולכהנים וחובבי מסע בין כוכבים רעיון

Coronavirus guidelines from the Health Ministry forbid
anyone who arrived from abroad (any country that is
not included in more specific quarantine rules) in the past 14
days to attend gatherings of more than 100 people. Please do not
attend Mincha/Maariv on Friday night and at the end of Shabbat.
To participate in the main Tefillot (not the kiddush!) on
Shabbat and Purim, the shul has the following options available:
Shabbat morning Hashkama minyan seating will be changed
as follows:
1. The balcony will be open for women.
2. Men who recently returned from abroad (not quarantined),
will be asked to sit in downstairs 'women's' section (mechitzah
will be open).
Purim- We are adding two small (less than 100
people) minyanim:
1. Monday evening in YHD Library - Maariv 18:00, Megillah 18:10
2. Tuesday morning in YHD Beit Midresh – Shaharit 7:00
3. In addition, Purim evening (Monday) 20:00 minyan, and Purim
morning (Tuesday) 10:30 Megillah readings are generally not
crowded.
We appreciate everyone's understanding and remind anyone
under quarantine, and/or exhibiting any symptoms of illness
should stay home, and read Parashat Zakhor from a
Chumash. They should be particular to listen to it again when it
is read from the Torah in parshat Ki Teitze.
Those over the age of 60 or with pre-existing health conditions
should exercise extra caution and avoid crowded places. Everyone
should wash their hands frequently.
