Safety Information & Community Safety Agreement
We want programming to be available to as many congregants and members of our extended community as possible while maintaining our commitment to pikuah nefesh, safeguarding life, as a central value: We hold that to save one member of our community is to save and preserve the entire community of NSP and beyond. We ask that you abide by the following protocols:
1. Please rapid test before attending in-person, indoor events on the day of the gathering (you do not need to test for outdoor events). This will help us limit the spread at our events and keep one another safe. We will have rapid tests on-site for you to use, feel free to arrive early to use one of these tests.
2. All attendees of NSP in-person events must be fully vaccinated. Fully vaccinated means two shots plus booster for the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines and one shot plus booster for the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Children under 5 years who are eligible for vaccination must have begun the vaccine schedule. If you have any questions regarding this policy, vaccine eligibility, or should you require a medical or legal exemption, please contact Rabbi Yosef (rabbi@newsynagogueproject.org).
3. Masking is required for all indoor meetings and use of indoor spaces (e.g. bathrooms) at outdoor events. When masks are required attendees over 2 years old must wear a mask. Acceptable face coverings include: 2-layer cotton, surgical, or KN95 masks without a vent; unacceptable face coverings include: gaiters, bandanas or similar. Masks must cover the nose and mouth entirely and be on for the duration of the event. Masks are not required outdoors.
4. Members may not attend if they currently have any common symptoms of Covid-19, including coughing, sneezing, fever, chills, or nausea. Members may not attend if they are waiting on the result of a Covid-19 test due to possible or confirmed exposure to Covid-19 or have recently been exposed to someone with Covid-19.
In regards to distancing, please be mindful that not everyone has the same risk tolerance, and some attendees will likely want to remain socially distanced. Please ask before hugging or standing in close proximity to other attendees and when possible, maintain distance from others.
