SIGN UP FOR MINYAN WILL BE ON A FIRST-COME FIRST-SERVE BASIS. Priority given to fully paid members. SIGN UP WILL BEGIN THURSDAY MORNING AT 7:00AM

SHUL REOPENING GUIDELINES (PER THE CRC) People over 65 who are in good health and wish to attend a minyan, should ask their doctor for guidance. People of any age with medical issues and wish to attend a minyan, should ask their doctor for guidance   Every minyan participant must: Wear a face mask over their nose and mouth. Wash their hands with water and soap, or use hand sanitizer as soon as entering the shul. Be assigned a davening location that is at least eight feet away from anyone else's davening location. Bring their own siddur and chumash or have an assigned siddur and chumash that will not be used by anyone else. Affirm that they are symptom-free, that they will abide by the rules of distancing and hygiene, and if G-d forbid, they develop any symptoms, they will immediately contact the Rav of the shul who will then inform the other members of that minyan.   Every minyan: • Be pre-assigned through a sign-up system.

Additional Minyan protocol for the 1st month of reopening (in addition to what is already stated in cRc guidelines adapted for our shul) Official minyan start time will be at Yishtabach.  The Shaliach Tzibor will be appointed in advance and should do Pesukei d'Zimra in Shul at the Bima.  Everyone else is encouraged to put on Tallit / Tallit & Tefillin at home and daven Pesukei d'Zimra there and arrive a few minutes before the time for Yishtabach.  Those who want to do Pesukei d'Zimra in shul are permitted to do so.  Shir shel Yom should also be said at home / outside the context of the Minyan. The Minyan will conclude with the Mourner's Kaddish following Aleinu for both weekdays and Shabbat (no Ani Zemirot). We will do the Mishebeirach for Cholim & prayers for country, Israel, and Israeli soldier on Shabbat provided we are able to keep the total service time to 1-½ hour. Torah service - The Shaliach Tzibor will open / close the ark and take out the Torah.  The Shaliach Tzibor will take the Torah directly from the Ark to the Bima.  The same basic process for returning the Torah. The Baal Korei will do each of the 7 aliyot.  The gabbai will in a normal tone voice call between each aliyah - "Ya'amode Rishon", "Ya'amode Sheni."  A Kohen should stay in the minyan, even though he isn't called for the 1st aliya.  There is no separate Maftir aliya.   Following leining, the Baal Koreh will move away from the Bima and someone will do both Hagba and Gelila by putting the sefer Torah on the Bima following Hagba.   The Baal Korei will do the Haftorah and do the Kaddish for the leining only after reading the Haftorah.  At all times only one person should be at the Bima. All Minyanim, except for the later Shabbat morning service will be in the Rosenberg Auditiorium. We will do Heichei Kedusha for weekday Mincha and start the minyan closer to Shkia. Start times for Shachrit have been adjusted - considering that the listed time is for Yishtabach rather than the beginning of davening.   Times for the week of 6/14 Sunday Shachrit 8:15 am Mincha/ Maariv 8:20 pm Monday - Thursday Shachrit 7:45 am Mincha/Maariv 8:20 pm Friday Shachrit 7:45 am Mincha/Kabbalat Shabbat/Maariv 7:00 pm Saturday Shachrit 7:45 am (Rosenberg Auditorium) and 8:30 am (Beit Midrash) Mincha 7:00 pm No Maariv in Shul for Motzei Shabbat
