Masks Required for All Indoor Gatherings

The GLT Reopening Committee, in accordance with CDC recommendations, has determined that the current elevated levels of COVID-19 transmission in our area have made it necessary to require that masks be worn by everyone entering the GLT building, regardless of vaccination status.

This decision, which has already been reached by the majority of the Atlanta area's synagogues, was made after thorough evaluation and discussion of the data provided by the Georgia Department of Health and the Fulton County Board of Health.

As always, we are taking to heart the Jewish tradition of valuing life, health and safety above all other considerations. We are looking forward with hope to a time in the not-so-distance future when these precautions are no longer necessary, and we can enjoy each other's company fully as a community once again.

In order to help protect our congregants, your families and our staff, certain guidelines will be in place to help stop the spread of COVID-19 during services:

• Friday evening services will return to being held on the pavilion. RSVP will not be required.
• Attendance will be limited to 70 people total in the sanctuary/social hall on Saturday mornings.
• Masks and proper social distancing will be required in the building.
• Please do not plan on attending services on the Saturday of a Bar/Bat Mitzvah as all available seating is reserved for the celebrating family.
• Do not attend services if you have been feeling ill or have been in contact with some one that does.
• Children of any age are allowed to attend, but they must be strictly supervised and limited to the sanctuary and restrooms. 
• There will be no Kiddush following services.
• Services will continue to be streamed for those that wish to attend virtually.

If you have any questions concerning these or any other Gesher L'Torah COVID-19 policies, please contact Doug Konkel.
