Thank God, over 98 percent of adults and 94 percent of kids between 12 and 18 years old who are eligible to be vaccinated have been vaccinated. We continue to wish everyone good health. Additionally, over 40 percent of the respondents plan on davening in the tent. With this in mind, we will have two tent services over the holidays. Unless you reserve seats or own pews, seating in all minyanim will be first come, first serve. If you want to reserve seats, please contact the office to sign up for our patron program. Also, as you are likely aware, in light of the rising case numbers due to the delta variant, the Department of Health of the State of CT has revised their guidelines as of August 1st. We strongly recommend vaccinated people to wear masks indoors. Masks are required indoors for unvaccinated people. We appreciate your cooperation.
