As you are probably aware, the new Omicron variant of Covid-19 is now accelerating globally, and has reached Los Angeles. This variant is particularly infectious, and we want to ensure maximum protection for our members who attend shul. As a result, this is an update based on recommendations from the YINBH Covid Response Committee as to how we are going to proceed going forward. We will be instituting the following updated protocols for all people coming in to the YINBH building, effective this coming Shabbat, December 25th:

• Masks must be worn at all times while in the building.  This includes all services, shabbat and weekday. 
• Note: The Chazzan will not be wearing a mask while leading services, as he will have tested negative for COVID within the previous 24-hours.
• Proof of your Covid Vaccination (INCLUDING A BOOSTER) must be shown before coming to the shul.  If your second shot was less than 6 months for Pfizer or Moderna or 2 months for Johnson & Johnson, you don't need to have a third booster yet. 
• Please send in a scan or picture of your vaccination card, which includes the booster by clicking on this link.  Alternatively, you can also email the proof of vaccination to covid@yinbh.org. We will have a list of everyone who is fully vaccinated at the door for the guards to check against.
• If you don't wish to send your vaccination proof in prior, you can bring your vaccine card along with a photo ID to show to the guards before you enter the building. 

As data comes in over the next few weeks, our covid guidelines will be revised as needed to maintain the safest environment for our congregants.

Warm Regards,

Steve Dorfman, President                          Rabbi Pini Dunner
