Shabbat, Minyan and holiday services

 

Rabbi Lewin, Chazzan Zvi and the Board look forward to welcoming you to shul for services. 

 

Registration for attendance at religious services is no longer required. However social distancing and hand washing are still required. The wearing of masks is recommended but no longer mandatory in Synagogue. 

 

Please note the following guidelines extracted from the NSW Government Covid website :

​

Reducing the risk of COVID-19 infection

You can help reduce the risk of infection from COVID-19 (coronavirus) through physical distancing. Combined with good personal hygiene, physical distancing can help keep us all safe and protect vulnerable people in our community.

To keep yourself and others safe

• wash your hands often and thoroughly with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand sanitiser

• avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands

• keep a distance of 1.5 metres between yourself and other people

• do not shake hands, hug or kiss as a greeting

• get a seasonal flu shot before winter

• if possible, use debit and credit cards instead of cash and make use of online and self-serve transactions.

It's particularly important to take these precautions when visiting vulnerable people, such as those in aged care facilities or hospitals, infants, or people with compromised immune systems.

If you do have COVID-19 symptoms, get tested and stay at home. 

Find out more about how you can protect yourself and others.

 
We know that there are many of you who cannot attend the services at present, but rest assured the Drasha on Youtube will continue, as well as a new series of shiurim on Zoom.
