The Temple Chai clergy and staff are continuing to serve our congregation. Both Rabbi Baden and Cantor Simon will be doing pastoral visits by phone and video conference for the time being, and our entire professional staff remains available to our members. Previously scheduled appointments will be moved to phone or videoconference wherever possible.
In case of a clergy emergency, please call 224-279-1313.
At this time, we do not know of any members of our congregation diagnosed with COVID-19. However, these are uncertain times and we believe that it is in the best interest of our entire congregation and community to minimize in-person contact. In this way we will do our part in the sacred work of mitigating the spread of this novel virus.
We are continuing to monitor the situation as it develops and will continue to issue regular updates. Please continue to turn to reliable sources of medical information such as the
Centers for Disease Control
and the
Lake County Health Department
. At this time, we encourage you to reach out to your loved ones and ensure that all are safe and cared for in our community.
More information will follow shortly regarding alternate ways to connect with the Temple Chai community and access the many resources that we continue to offer to our members.
Sincerely,
Alison Siegel Lewin, Executive Director
Rabbi Ilana G. Baden
Jeff Cohodes, President
Jim Elliot, Chair of Facilities and Security Committee
