Dear Temple Aliyah SCJLL Families,
There are no confirmed or suspected cases of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) in the Temple Aliyah community. However, out of an abundance of caution and to do our part to help contain local community spread, we will be making the following changes effective immediately:
- ALL SCJLL classes are canceled next week (now through March 20th). We will use this time to train our teachers in online learning modalities.
- Starting March 22nd, Hebrew pods will begin meeting online at their usual times. That schedule will continue until Spring/Passover break.
- JLL classes (normally held 4-6:15 pm) are cancelled from now until Spring Break.
- We hope to resume meeting in person after Passover. However, we will be prepared to add JLL to our online learning curriculum we are not able to return to standard classes.
We would like to thank you for your patience as we deal with this situation, which is uncharted territory for us all. We'd also like to bring your attention to two more items:
- Be on the lookout for a text from Temple Aliyah tomorrow as we have implemented an emergency texting system. If you do NOT receive a text before Shabbat, please let us know. You may opt out of these texts, but we strongly suggest that you do not.
- Despite the present chaos, we are planning on some new and exciting curriculum changes next year. To that end, we will be sending a very short survey about next year’s curriculum and your SCJLL experience on Monday, March 16th. The survey will only take a few minutes and will help us make some exciting changes next year!
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Rabbi Adam.
If you or anyone you have direct contact with is diagnosed with COVID-19, please alert us immediately by contacting Maureen Sweeney, our Executive Director by either phone (818-346-3545) or email (

Thank you,
