Temple Beth Shalom Kashrut Policies
We are in the midst of revising our overall Kashrut Policy for food consumed in our synagogue, but please read through our Kashrut Policy pertaining to synagogue events held OUTSIDE of our synagogue.
Temple Beth Shalom Covid Policies
Based on the evidence of the present low state of COVID illness in New Jersey and Atlantic County in particular, and having reviewed the state and CDC guidelines related to the present situation, The Wellness Committee would recommend the following changes to the previous Temple Beth Shalom COVID-19 policy.
* We encourage all Temple members who wish to participate in in-person events at the Shul to remain up to date with COVID-19 vaccines including recommended booster doses.
* We encourage individuals to avoid contact with people who have suspected or confirmed disease and if they have recently been in such a situation to not participate in live synagogue activities.
* If an individual has a suspected or confirmed case, he/she should not participate until he/she has been well for 10 days and tests negative for disease.
* Individuals may choose to wear a mask at any time.
* Ventilation improvements within the facility should be maintained. (see CDC’s https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/Improving-Ventilation-Home.html)
* Experts no longer recommend “social distancing” and therefore no seating assignments will be instituted for congregants. However, if an individual feels uncomfortable returning to full socialization, arrangement will be attempted to accommodate such a person.
* If an individual is at high risk of getting sick, he/she should talk with a healthcare provider about additional prevention actions.
