Mask Policy Update
IMPORTANT! Mask Policy Update
We continue to strive to make sure that we can remain connected as a community with health and safety as a priority. Our Covid-19 Advisory Task Force and our Board of Directors regularly evaluates and reevaluates the ongoing situation based on the latest state and local data and guidelines. This is an ever evolving situation, and we strive to follow the latest information made available. Based on the most recent guidance from the CDC and the County of San Diego this week in response to the concerns over the Delta variant and greater spread, we will require facial coverings for all in attendance during indoor services, regardless of vaccination status, effective Shabbat July 30-31.
Per the advisory from the county, "The rate of COVID-19 cases in San Diego County is rated 'high' by the [CDC]." The County of San Diego, in accordance with the guidance from the CDC, now recommends the "universal wearing of masks by both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals in indoor public settings."
Please click here for the County public release.
In this document there is a link to the CDC’s website that tracks the data by county.
We will continue to meet for in-person services in our holy sanctuary, and, starting this Shabbat, we will stream our services live on YouTube.
It is our hope and prayer that we can all remain healthy and well. And through whatever adversity we may face, that we may continue to feel that strength and depth of connection with each other, with our community, and with the Holy One that cannot be broken.
Blessings,
Rabbi Sammy

It is with great excitement that we returned to indoor services in our beloved, holy sanctuary, our spiritual home, for Shabbat services as well as Sunday morning minyan!
With careful consideration for health and safety and with attention to the updates to State and local policies, we offer these guidelines:
- We welcome all who wish to attend in person, in the sanctuary. There is no need to preregister for services.
- We will provide separate seating accommodations in the sanctuary for those who are not vaccinated against COVID-19.
- Any children who are unvaccinated are advised to be with their parents or other children. (A primary consideration for the children is that they are careful to avoid the area where those without the vaccination may be seated. This is for the safety of both the unvaccinated adult as well as the child.)
- We will continue to provide livestreaming of our services for those who are not able or ready to attend indoor, in-person services.
- We will continue to monitor recommendations from State and local agencies and provide updates to these guidelines as needed.
We look forward to being together inside our awesome, spiritual home as we celebrate Shabbat and other great moments together with joy!
Blessings,
Rabbi Sammy And Mark Baker
