By registering you agree to the following rules and guidelines. 

  • Members and regulars only. Due to COVID-19 limitations, High Holiday Tefillot are open to Kehillah members and regulars only (exceptions may be requested via email for immediate family on case-by-case basis, space-permitting).
    All outsiders, even if they are guests of our members, will not be allowed entry.
    We hope for a day where we can reinstate our famous Kehillat Shaar HaShamayim hospitality, and this is a necessary first step to reaching that goal.
  • Register with integrity. We understand that schedules change, especially in these unusual times. Nonetheless, as space is severely limited, we ask that you understand that your reservation directly impacts the number of other individuals who can or cannot attend Tefillot.
  • Children and high risk individuals. In this initial phase, we cannot provide special accommodations to any children under the age of Bar/Bat Mitzvah.
    Parents who wish to bring children over the age of 3, are responsible to ensure that they 1) wear masks, 2) sit near them or go outside with them, 3) do not mingle with other children. There is no need to RSVP separately for children, as they will be with you at all times.
    Those over the age of 65 or in a high-risk group should consult with their trusted medical professional before attending.
  • Registration. All who wish to attend any of the Shabbat meetings, must register in advance via our online form. Those who do not register will be unable to attend meetings upon arrival. Registration deadline is Thursday evening at 11pm.
  • Conditions and guidelines. The conditions and guidelines for attendance of these meetings is 1) washing/sanitizing hands before arrival, 2) maintenance of 6 feet social distancing between people, 3) wearing face masks, 4) limiting contact with any shared surfaces.
  • Symptoms. Anyone with any of the following symptoms may not attend in-person meetings at this time: cough; shortness of breath or difficulty breathing; fever; chills; muscle pain; sore throat; new loss of taste or smell.
  • Illness. Anyone who does not feel well even without experiencing these specific symptoms - may not attend in-person meetings.
  • Exposure. If one has been infected with COVID-19 or has self-quarantined because of exposure to an individual infected or suspected to have been infected with COVID-19, must be symptom-free for at least 14 days before attending in-person meetings.
  • Chairs provided. Each registered member will be assigned their own chair which will be placed on their designated spot. This chair will be exclusive to them and remain there until the end of the holidays. 
  • Tables. Members may bring their own tables and leave them at their seats for the duration of the time we will have use of this space.
  • Shared items. To avoid sharing items, all registered members will be provided with a Siddur/Chumash. These will be placed in a label box on each chair, and must be returned to the box after each Tefillah. 
    We will be unable to provide Tallitot, and each registered member is encouraged to bring their own.
  • Restrooms. There will bathroom access at our temporary location. Bathrooms are shared with the entire building and we take no responsibility for their sanitation aside from their regular cleaning schedule.
  • Water bottles. We are working on securing water bottles to be distributed among Tefillah participants. If you would like to purchase and deliver a few cases of water bottles, please respond to this email to let us know.
  • Please do your part! Unlike other communities, no individual will be tasked with policing these guidelines. By registering to attend, you agree to adhere to all the rules mentioned above without exception. I will not hesitate to shut down these meetings if we are unable to act responsibly and adhere to these guidelines. We must each do our part, so that we can continue expanding our re-opening plan.
