Masks and social distancing will be required at the OJC for all indoor and outdoor services and gatherings for the foreseeable future. This applies to those fully vaccinated and for all attendees.
Join us on Friday evening at 7:00 PM and Saturday morning at 9:45 AM for services, Torah Reading, and teaching from the rabbis. This Friday night, services are open only to those who are vaccinated. Saturday morning services are open regardless of vaccination status.
Please note: We are not requiring pre-registration for services for Shabbat, except when we are hosting a simcha that may bring in a large number of households from outside the synagogue community.
The service will also be broadcast via Zoom webinar if you prefer to stay at home to enjoy!
