Additional Seating Available for Shabbat Services

The Gesher L'Torah Reopening Committee, in accordance with CDC recommendations, has determined that it is now possible to increase the maximum number of people allowed in the sanctuary and social hall areas during Saturday morning Shabbat services.

The number of allowable guests will be raised from 70 to 80. When services are held during a Bar or Bat Mitzvah, 70 of the seats will be reserved for the celebrating family and the remaining 10 for other GLT members that would like to participate in Shabbat services. No RSVP will be required at this time.

Please note that masks are still required to be worn by everyone inside of Gesher L'Torah, regardless of vaccination status.

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: 

• Attendance will be limited to 80 people total in the sanctuary/social hall during services.
• Masks and proper social distancing will be required.
• 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.
