Congregation Beth Hallel has reopened our doors for in-person services! We are very excited to welcome you.
We know that everyone has a different level of comfort, so please do what you feel is best for your family. We recommend that those who are at higher risk for severe illness (including older adults and people of all ages with certain underlying medical conditions) limit their exposure risk by attending service virtually. The link is at the top of this page where it says, “Livestream.” Whether it is online or in-person, we are excited to worship together as a community!
HERE ARE THE GUIDELINES WE’VE PUT IN PLACE:
(1) If you are sick or have had close contact with a person with COVID-19, please stay home. Although we’ve reopened our doors, continued opening is subject to change depending on the public health data and guidance for Cobb and/or Fulton Counties.
(2) Friday Night Shabbat service will be held in the Synagogue building. Doors will open at 7:30PM. Saturday Shabbat service will be held in the MJCC building. Doors will open at 10:30AM.
(3) Masks will be optional for our Friday Night Shabbat Service.
(4) Masks will be mandatory at our Saturday Shabbat Service for all those 4 years old and older, except for those on stage. Your mask must be worn over your mouth and nose at all times while you are in Beth Hallel facilities. This also applies to those with special needs and considerations. We ask that you provide your own mask. You will not be allowed into the facility or to remain in the facility, if you are unable to wear a mask.
(5) We ask that you do not touch the mezuzot on the doorframes or have any other physical contact with other congregants (shaking hands or hugging).
(6) Upon entering the sanctuary or seating area, we ask that you use hand sanitizer provided by Beth Hallel.
(7) An usher will seat you with your immediate family, but you’ll be socially distanced from others.
(8) You’ll notice that all Bibles and siddurs have been removed from the pews, along with the community tallitot and kippot. Congregants are encouraged to bring their own.
(9) If you need to use the restroom in the Synagogue building, we ask that you limit use to only 1 person at a time (unless a parent is accompanying a child). If you need to use the restroom in the MJCC, we ask that you limit use to only 2 people at a time (unless a parent is accompanying a child). If it is at capacity, please kindly wait until someone exits.
(10) Our Friday Night Shabbat Service will be "mask optional" and children are welcome to attend our Kids' Congregation Class if they are 4-8 years old. Our Saturday Shabbat Service will be "mask required" and children are welcome to attend our Torah Tots Class (4-6 years) every week and Club Maccabee Class (7-9years) every week except the 1st Saturday of the month. Children in the classes will be socially distanced.
(11) Tuesday Night Scripture Study will take place every Tuesday evening at 7PM (except the last Tuesday of the month). Classes are available for children 4 years old through college. Our adult study will take place in the Sanctuary. Childcare will be provided for children ages 0-3 years in the Nursery. Masks are optional.
(12) Childcare will be provided for children ages 0-3 years in the Nursery on Friday and Saturday. The room will be thoroughly disinfected between services.
(13) The Gift Shop and Library will be closed at this time. We will seek to have these open as soon as possible. Items from the Gift Shop are available for purchase, but an appointment needs to be made with the Gift Shop team during the week.
(14) We will not be having Oneg at this time, but encourage you to schmooze while maintaining a social distance of 6 feet.
(15) Please remember to stay 6 feet from those outside of your immediate group.
