The Stanton Street Shul COVID PROTOCOLS
(as of March 28, 2022)
Masks are optional in the main sanctuary and lower level.
Masks are required in the shul gallery.
Attendees must provide proof of vaccination and are welcome to attend our weekly kiddush downstairs following shacharit services.
Anyone who seeks extra safety precautions is welcome to sit in our gallery for services with the doors open. Stanton is a safe place whatever your COVID concerns. Please be considerate of the health and safety of your fellow congregants.
We care deeply about the safety of our community. Our policy will be updated based on prevailing public health guidelines and conditions.
Security Protocols for Entering Shul:
At all times as a security precaution, please use the code to enter the door on the right side of the building. If you do not know the code, knock and someone will let you in.
As we pray for the safety of our Jewish family in Ukraine and all communities in affected areas, we encourage you to do what you can to make a difference.
Please consider making a donation to UJA Federation. They and their partners have been on the ground in Ukraine since the beginning fulfilling emergency needs such as emergency relief for those who are homebound or have disabilities, humanitarian supplies, refugee aid, and the facilitation of Aliyah for those trying to leave the country.
Anything you can give will help support these efforts; thank you in advance for stepping up to support the critical needs in Ukraine as the crisis continues to unfold. Kindly donate here.
ABOUT RABBI LEEAD STALLER
As you are aware, Rabbi Leead Staller previously informed the congregation of his decision to leave the shul at the end of his contract, which was set to expire in June. Last week, Rabbi Staller notified the shul Board that he was resigning his position effective immediately. The Board thanks Rabbi Staller for his dedicated service, tremendous energy, outstanding scholarship, and community outreach during his tenure. The Board is focused on continuation of the activities of the congregation and welcomes the input of all of its members. Update: We are pleased to learn that Rabbi Staller and Shoshana Bachrach will serve as the couple in residence, replacing Rabbi Joe Wolfson and Corinne Shmuel, at the Jewish Learning Initiative on NYU's campus, a program of the Orthodox Union to help students thrive and observe key aspects of Jewish life in secular campus environments. Rabbi Joe and Corinne are moving to Israel with their daughter's Mika and Tal where they will expand the reach of the JLIC in Tel Aviv.
