COVID-19 PLANS
March 26, 2020
Dear Temple Tiferet Shalom Community,
The Executive Committee, clergy, and staff of Temple Tiferet Shalom have been continuously monitoring the rapidly developing situation surrounding the COVID-19 virus. We are very aware of the concerns and uncertainty to the health and safety of the community presented by these circumstances, and what that means for the operations of our congregation. In an effort to limit the spread of coronavirus, we have decided to make several changes to our upcoming programming and planning.
-
The building will be closed for all prayer services including Friday evening and Saturday Service, Snack & Study, all committee meetings, and Religious School.
-
Rabbi Kudan and Musical Director Bryna Tabasky will be live streaming Friday night Shabbat services until May 1, 2020
-
Specific information regarding your child’s online learning will be sent from the Religious School.
-
Bar and Bat Mitzvah lessons with Tracy Cranson and/or Rabbi Kudan will continue as scheduled via Skype or FaceTime. Tracy and Rabbi will be in touch with Bar/ Bat Mitzvah families regarding appointments.
While the building is closed, please know that our clergy and staff are available for you, by phone and email. If you or someone you know needs assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to Rabbi Kudan at 617-877-3818 or the office at 978-535-2100.
We will work together as a community to support one another.
We do not take the decision to close the building and cancel prayer opportunities lightly. However, we feel it is in the best interest for everyone’s safety and well-being.
We are continuing to be updated by the Department of Public Health and CDC, and will make a decision when to reopen the Temple dependent on how this situation evolves. We will notify the Congregation as soon as this decision is made.
One of the most important values in Judaism is our responsibility to one another – kol Yisrael areivim zeh l’zeh. This is our opportunity to live this value to its fullest and help prevent the spread of this virus.
Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi David Kudan Rachel Zalvan, President
