AN ERUV IN THE GREATER CALDWELL COMMUNITY? Borrowing from the Oxford dictionary, an eruv is "an urban area enclosed by a wire boundary which symbolically extends the private domain of Jewish households into public areas" specifically for the purpose of enabling the carrying of objects and the transporting of individuals (i.e., in strollers and wheelchairs) on Shabbat. We are excited to work to make this happen. Please email CAIERUV@AGUDATH.ORG to inquire and join the effort.
MASKS: Masks are optional for all services and synagogue activities. This does not include the Religious School or Early Childhood Center, which have their own protocols.
In consultation with our medical and operations/security advisors, we created two mask required sections in the Sanctuary. These sections were selected because they have less traffic, are able to be set apart from others who may not be wearing masks, and are close to alternative entrances into and out of the Sanctuary so that people can choose to avoid the doors at the center of the room that tend to become congested. These sections are located at back of the seating areas to the far left and far right of the room, and are marked by signs with CAI's "Mask Required" logo.
VACCINATION: Full vaccination against COVID-19 is required for all those eligible ages 5 and older for entry into Shabbat and other services and indoor community events. Religious School attendance and the Early Childhood Center are excluded at this time. In accordance with CDC guidelines, "full vaccination" means having finished the primary series (2 doses of mRNA vaccine or single dose of J&J). Presenting documentation of vaccination status, either when entering the building or uploading on the website, will not be required at this time. We trust that this honor system will be upheld.
