transgress one of the 39 Melachos of Shabbos. One is,

however, permitted to simply touch a tree, as long as

the tree doesn't shake. Halacha distinguishes between

direct use and indirect use. Therefore, one may make

use of items that are not directly supported by a tree

YIDB Policies Regarding COVID

As our members and guests confirm they are vaccinated, and Rabbinic, CDC, and Florida State guidelines are relaxed, we continue to adjust our COVID-19 measures at YIDB. All immunocompromised members should consult their physicians to make certain they can participate in loosened restriction activities.

Our updated guidelines are:

1) Attendees who are fully vaccinated, whether members or guests, no longer need to wear masks in the Shul.

2) Balei Tefila and Balei Korei no longer are required to be masked. However, if someone receives an Aliyah and wants the Bal Korei to wear a mask during that Aliyah, they will accommodate.

3) Seating has been added in the Main Sanctuary to accommodate all participants in both the men's and women's sections.

4) All guests who are not vaccinated, must continue to pre-register for attendance. Contact Steven Schoenfeld directly, by e-mail at sschoenfeld@ or by phone at 917 741 0299, no later than 48 hours prior to date of attendance to review specific attendance requirements.

5) Children under the age of 10 are not permitted in Shul at this time.

We thank you, as always, for your continued support and cooperation. We look forward to implementing additional steps toward normalcy as they are deemed prudent for our congregation.

The Davening Steering Committee

UPDATE YIDB MASKING POLICY

The new CDC policy recommends all adults, whether they have been vaccinated or not, wear masks when indoors, in groups, in areas currently experiencing Delta variant growth.

We welcome all individuals who wish to daven with us. If you have had the vaccination, while our policy at this moment does not require masks, we support those who wish to be masked. Those who have not had the vaccine, we request you be masked when davening in the shul.

We will keep you informed of any additional policy changes as they occur. Please remember our objective is always the safety of our membership.
