In Person Attendance at Shabbat Morning Services (Not in the building at other times!*)

Changes to in-person Covid restrictions

For in-person attendance: 

We will no longer require: Temperature checks & Health Screening

Everyone must wear a mask at all times, regardless of your vaccination status.

Seating will be more flexible:
* You may sit in social groups as long as everyone in the group is comfortable.
* Seating for those desiring to maintain social distancing will be available in the 2nd and 3rd rows of the pews.


Our Gabbai is still remote to aid in coordinating between the sanctuary and those praying online.
He needs to know who is "in the room." 

* We must continue extra cautious Covid restrictions in the temple building at other times to protect our preschool children. (We strictly follow DCFS protocols for the preschool.)

Honors, Readings, and  Aliyot

While many prayers are recited in Hebrew at Shabbat morning services, there are many English readings to allow everyone’s participation. Pulpit honors are accorded equally to men and women. At Shabbat morning services, children are welcome to sit with their parents or to attend regularly scheduled Junior Congregation services.

Members desiring an aliyah or other honor at the Shabbat morning service (to commemorate a Yahrzeit, special birthday, or other milestone) may contact the Temple office. Even when we have a b’nai mitzvah or other special Shabbat, we reserve honors for the congregation.

Temple and Zoom Decorum

To help you derive the most from our services and to help us maintain our traditions, please observe the proper decorum of our service:

  • Attire in the sanctuary—and on Zoom—should be modest and appropriate for a house of worship; no strapless, bare shoulder dresses; no torn jeans or pants; no bare midriffs or shorts, etc.

  • Cell phones should be silenced in the sanctuary. Do not enter or leave the sanctuary when the Ark is open or when the rabbi is speaking.

  • All males should wear a kippah (head covering) while in the building and when visible on Zoom.  

  • Do not take tallit or prayer book into the restroom or a bathroom.

  • Do not smoke anywhere in or near the Temple building.

  • Writing is prohibited on Shabbat and holidays; it’s considered a creative act and thus is not allowed on sanctified days.

  • Refrain from chewing gum in the synagogue building.

  • Pocket-sized hearing amplification devices are available in the Temple; ask when you come in.

  • Photography is prohibited in the sanctuary during services.
