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.

This year we will be having services in person and we will also be livestreaming to those who wish to stay at home. If you are planning to come to Rodeph Sholom in person for High Holidays, we will require the following: Wear your mask over your nose and mouth the entire time you are in the building if you are over 2 years old.
Be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, if you are 12 years of age or older.
Have had no exposure to anyone with COVID-19 in the last 14 days.
Be feeling well and healthy, with no fever or cold symptoms.
We will be setting up socially distanced pods for seating in the social hall and chapel areas.
Thank you for helping to keep yourself and our entire Rodeph Sholom family as safe as possible during this difficult time.
If you have been given an honor, please arrive well before the time of your honor as the pace of the service could change. Thank you!
Please keep in mind to get your High Holiday tickets and/or the password for the Livestream log-in you will need to have made arrangements for your annual communal obligation. If you have not made these arrangements please contact the office so we may assist you.
