CSK COVID UPDATE
As Covid transmission rates resurge in Palm Beach County, CSK continues to be vigilant by strongly encouraging the wearing of masks when inside the sanctuary and in other areas of the building when people are present. Social distancing is also recommended. We will once again provide for aliyot away from the Torah table for those who prefer. While we invite everyone to join us for Shabbat and activities, we want to be mindful of gathering in a safe and respectful way. Regarding our transition from Zoom to streaming services, we are in the process of implementing this change and anticipate conversion to streaming before the end of August. We will continue to assess the situation and provide further updates.
