SERVICES AND KIDDUSH UPDATE Due to the surge of positive COVID cases as a result of the Delta variant, we will be requiring face coverings be worn during all services held inside.
Friday evening, Saturday morning and Monday and Thursday Minyan services will continue to be held inside the building. Saturday kiddush will be held in the breezeway starting this weekend and L'Chaim following Minyan will be held in the sukkah beginning tomorrow morning.
The health and safety of our community is our top priority. Florida currently leads the nation in the number of daily positive cases and positive cases per resident. If you arrive and do not have a face covering we are happy to provide you with one.
