In light of the rapidly increasing community spread and new Health Dept. recommendations, we are re-instituting an indoor mask requirement for the time being for services and other visits to the building. We will continue to serve oneg after services with snacks available to go, and ask that attendees remain masked until seated with some social distance.
As always, policies are subject to change in response to community health conditions, state and federal guidance. Please reach out to us at health@vassartemple.org with your questions, comments, and suggestions.
