The Shir Libeynu Board, in consultation with the Rabbi, has evaluated our service, our space at the MNjcc, and our religious observances in light of recommendations from various public health agencies. We want to maintain all communal practices while keeping our community safe. We will continue to monitor the situation in Toronto and the most up-to-date health recommendations, and adjust accordingly.
To enjoy our time together at this
Saturday's service
we ask you to follow these simple guidelines:
• Please do not come to shul or school at any time if you are sick at all, and particularly if you have a cough or any kind of cold/flu/fever.
• Wash hands with soap and water for a minimum of 20 seconds. It is often helpful to tell young children to keep soaping through two singings of ABC or Happy Birthday to give them a sense for the 20 second time frame.

. C
onsider carrying your own hand sanitizer to use when soap and water are not readily available.
• Cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze or cough with a tissue or something other than your hand.
• Dispose of any tissues you have used directly into the trash—do not leave them on chairs or tables.
• Avoid touching communal items directly and then touching your face.
• Please try to minimize handshaking or kissing a mezuzah, siddur, torah or any other religious item.
•
Please use tongs and serving pieces provided for communal food items rather than touching the food directly.
• Parents are requested to have their children wash or sanitize their hands before using our childcare room. Please note, there is
no childcare
this week. Parents or other adult caregivers may use the space for their children but they must be at all times accompanied by an adult.
• Parents should, if possible, wipe down any toys and books with sanitizer wipes.
