COVID-19 Health & Safety Protocols

Mask Policy & Other Protocols

1. Temple Sholom is currently following a ‘Mask Welcome but Optional’ policy for all programming, including Shabbat & B’nai Mitzvah Services, Religious School, Midweek Hebrew & the Gan Shalom Early Childhood Education Center, as well as other temple events.

2. We recognize that some members and guests will be more comfortable by continuing to wear masks while at Temple Sholom. We respect the individual decisions that people make regarding the use of masks and expect that those attending temple-sponsored programs will act with similar respect.

3. We will continue to have KN95 masks available, in adult and children’s sizes, should anyone want or need one while onsite. Should you want or need a KN95 mask while at Temple Sholom, they are available at the Security Desk in Stratford Lobby.

4. Our weekly Oneg (a festive reception with light refreshments) following Friday evening Shabbat Services and Kiddush Luncheons following B'nai Mitzvah services have both resumed.  Food is also permitted at meetings, programs and other gatherings, including Crown Family High School.

Our COVID-19 Health and Safety Task Force will continue to meet as necessary and will monitor conditions in the Chicago area.  Should current trends or City of Chicago regulations change, we will update these protocols as necessary.

“We are meant to be part of this world, safely, each on our terms, but with a unified goal in mind — to embrace, inspire, and matter.”
