Shabbat morning services will resume with our Hanukah Service on 12th December 2020. We will meet the usual time of 11:30am at a new venue - Allum Manor, Allum Lane, Borehamwood WD6 3JP - where we will be meeting until our usual venue, Maxwell Park Communiy Centre re-opens, with the following requirements.

Until further notice:                                                                                                   

1. we can now only have a maximum of 15 attendees at any service (including the Rabbi and Chazzan)
2. If you plan to attend:
   Regular attendees - We will assume that you will be attending unless you email us to tell us that you cannot attend. Please email the Rabbi as soon as possible if you will NOT be attending. on the Friday and make sure we have your current contact details.     
   Visitors - Please email the Rabbi before attending as we may not have space due to restrictions on numbers.                  

This procedure will enable us to:​

1. ​​​​Keep records of those proposing to attend (and contact details) in case a fellow attendee is later diagnosed with the COVID-19 virus and we need to let you know.
2. Check that the potential attendee is not symptomatic and have not been in contact with anyone who is symptomatic or diagnosed with COVID-19

We are all responsible for each other’s health. Attending services when feeling unwell, or failing to observe these rules, could result in another member contracting COVID-19. Therefore we respectfully request that attendees observe the following rules:

1. Bring and wear a face mask or face covering. If you forget to bring your own we will have a small number of disposable face masks available.
2.  Enter Allum Manor by the Main Door and go straight across to Room 2   which is our meeting room and will be facing you as you enter. 
3.  Please use the hand sanitisers provided.
4.  Family/household members, or those operating in a 'bubble' may sit      together. Otherwise, all chairs will be prearranged to observe the 2m       rule. Please DO NOT move chairs other than to sit beside your family
5. ​ During the service, the government requirement is that only those        officiating will sing. Other quiet participation, including reading, is         acceptable. For the safety of all: those officiating will be standing at a         safe distance, facing forward and in front of the congregation.       
6. Those making aliyot must social distance from those officiating, in order 
    to prevent potential cross contamination. We will not be processing the Torah until further notice.  
7.  Please do not congregate in any part of the building other than in our     meeting room.               
8.  Regrettably, there will be no kiddushim for the foreseeable future. Bottles
    of cold drinks may be brought in for personal use only.  

The principle we are using is pekuach nefesh (health first) so:

    1.    Please only attend if you can do so is in line with government recommendations.

    2.    Do not attend if you are feeling unwell or have been in contact with others who are unwell. If you are feeling anything unusual please bear in mind that a wide range of COVID-19 symptoms have been reported. These symptoms include are described on this website: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/symptoms.html.

    3.   While we trust HaShem to keep us safe, each of us must do all that we can            to promote the health and well-being of our fellow worshippers.
