CBST New Door Policy for Services and Events
In our ongoing effort to keep the community safe while making entry to services and programs as simple as possible, we have updated our procedures.
We will have a list at the door of all community members who have submitted proof of complete vaccination. If you plan to attend services or programs in person and have not yet submitted your proof, please click here to do so. If you’re on this list, you don’t need to show proof of vaccination or sign in. Just give your name at the door. Anyone not on the list needs to show proof of vaccination and sign in with contact information. If we are informed of a potential exposure at a service or program, we will send a notice to everyone on the list and all those who have signed in individually for the event in question.
By entering the building for services, you are attesting that you have been completely vaccinated (including booster if eligible), will wear a mask as required, have not been diagnosed with or exposed to Covid, and will inform the synagogue if you test positive for Covid after attending services or other programs. Full attestation can be read here and is posted at the entrance to the synagogue.
