We Are Ready for you! On Shabbat we welcome SNAC members into the garden where we daven together. We are beginning to adjust to the "new normal". All the new health, safety and hygiene procedures are in place and followed. So, as we enjoy our shul and communal davening again, we remind everyone of the guidelines and recommendations of The Ministry of Health. This means that we will hold Friday night and Shabbat services in the  garden so that we may better accommodate our members. Davening will be quicker. We will still have the SNAC ruach, but in a limited fashion. For the foreseeable future, there cannot be a public Kiddush or Seudah Shlishit.   The decision to daven in the garden allows us to maintain compliance with the social distancing regulations while increasing the capacity of seats available. In order to manage this effectively, every member who wishes to attend for a Shabbat service will have to pre-register and receive a confirmation that there is a place available.   Please note that: A.   All attendees for Friday night services must enter through the car park gate which is located at the garden area. On Shabbat any  gate entrance can be used. This will allow the Sefardi kehilla to use the gate entrance on Kehilla Tzfat. B.   All attendees must use a mask over their nose and mouth C.   There can be no kissing of ritual objects D. Only members who are pre-registered will be welcomed into services. E. The shul building will be open only for bathroom use.  The advice from the Ministry includes a recommendation to limit the length of time that we are together and so the Davening will be as short as can be appropriate, with limited singing and no speeches: A.   There will be new procedures for leining, hagba and kibudim B.    Attendees must bring their own Siddur and Chumash. The Shul bookcases are completely unavailable C.    Individual water bottles will be provided by the shul. D.    Cohanim must bring their own water bottles and wash their own hands It is our sincere hope and prayer that our decisions going forward maximize both communal safety and our service of Hashem.
