Prayer for the Start of a Pandemic School Year
Mishebeirach doroteinu, may the one who blessed the generations before, bless us - students, parents, teachers, administrators, and staff - as we begin this strange school year.
May we be blessed with fast Internet connections and access to functional technology.
May we be blessed with fast friendships and well-earned learning.
May we be blessed with muscle memory for curiosity and collaboration.
May we be blessed with muscle memory for compassion and cooperation.
May we be blessed with excitement over seeing familiar faces and reconnecting with friends.
May we be blessed with the excitement over meeting new friends and teachers.
May we be blessed with patience, for slow internet speeds, and frozen Zoom screens.
May we be blessed with patience, for teachers, friends, and parents learning new technologies and new concepts.
Above all, may we be blessed with the ability to make connections and community, growing as teachers and learners - no matter our role or title.
- Betsy Zalaznick - Educator

HOLIDAY MEAL CATERING
Provence Catering is Back!
Order Your Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur Meals
and Support a Small Business
| |
|
Provence Catering served up some fantastic Passover meals for members of Or Chadash back in April of this year and they are now working on a menu for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.
Pamela Horowitz, sister of congregant Cindy Stoter, is the owner and Executive Chef of Provence Catering. Once again she has decided to offer take-out meals to ease the stress of the holiday, at an already stressful time. She is utilizing her commercial kitchen and taking all the necessary safety measures. Provence Catering has been in business for 18 years and is located near King of Prussia, PA.
We hope to have the details on the menu, ordering and pickup shortly - we will share them as soon as we get them. We do know the pickup date for Rosh Hashanah will be Thursday Sep 17th and for Yom Kippur it will be Sunday Sep 27th.

Safety Rules for In-Person OC Services
Here are the safety precautions that must be followed for all who attend Services in person:
- Clinically high risk people, or anyone who is sick, should continue to attend via Zoom
- Everyone must wear a mask covering their nose and mouth for the duration of the service
- Wash/sanitize hands frequently
- Social distancing (6 feet minimum)
- We are not allowed to serve food, so there will be no Oneg Shabbat. Reminder during "mingling" that social distancing rules are still in effect
- Bathrooms WILL be open, but please "go before you go" to minimize use
- Prayer books have not been touched in months, so are OK to share
- Please bring your own chair and observe the seating areas designated on the lawn
- If you answer "YES" to any of the screening questions below, we ask that you do not attend the service in person:
- Have you or anyone in your household had any of the following symptoms in the last 21 days: sore throat, cough, chills, body aches for unknown reasons, shortness of breath for unknown reasons, loss of smell, loss of taste, fever at or greater than 100 degrees Fahrenheit?
- Have you or anyone in your household tested positive for COVID-19 in the last 21 days?
- Have you or anyone in your household visited or received treatment in a hospital, nursing home, long-term care, or other health care facility in the past 30 days?
- Have you or anyone in your household traveled to one of the states on the NJ Travel Advisory List in the past 21 days?
- Have you or anyone in your household cared for an individual who is in quarantine or is a presumptive positive or has tested positive for COVID-19?
- Do you have any reason to believe you or anyone in your household has been exposed to or contracted COVID-19?
