Beth Tzedec Congregation is pleased to be able to offer in-person services beginning in July in accordance with the most up-to-date COVID-19 guidelines provided by Alberta Health Services.
The services will be phased in starting with Daily Minyanim three times a week and we will add a Shabbat Service beginning July 25th. Based on the updated advice of the Chief Medical Officer and the province, it is our hope to increase the frequency of onsite services beginning in August. Please see the table below for dates and times of upcoming in-person services. The schedule is subject to change based on the advice of AHS, so please check your inbox and Shalom Byte for important updates.
Congregants are encouraged to use the online Alberta Health self-screening tool at https://myhealth.alberta.ca/
Beth Tzedec will continue to offer all of our weekday Minyanim via Zoom and Shabbat Services via live streaming (please see links below) to ensure that all congregants are able to participate in prayer services, whether or not they are able to join us in person.
Please note the following guidelines and rules for in-person prayer services:
- Worshippers must register no later than one business day in advance at 403-255-8688 or info@bethtzedec.ca (during office hours) and check in with the staff member posted at the front door. You will be asked some COVID-19 screening questions. Please note that worshippers will be admitted for prayer services only if they are symptom-free and in good health.
- Staff will be available to answer any questions when you enter the building.
- People who are high risk (i.e. over 65, chronic medical conditions, younger individuals with medical conditions that put them at risk) are encouraged to stay home. Please refrain from joining us if you are ill.
- Please use hand sanitizer on your way into the building and on your way out and at every opportunity available.
- You are required to wear a mask at all times. We are encouraging congregants to bring their own masks. If you do not have a mask, one will be provided to you.
- All congregants and staff are required to maintain social distancing (keep at least 2 metres distance from people outside your household or cohort family) at all times.
- Refrain from kissing, hugging or shaking hands.
- Bring your own Tallitot, kippot and women’s head coverings as they will not be provided.
- There will no kissing of mezuzot or Torah scrolls.
- When entering the sanctuary you will be directed to take a prayer book from a designated area and required to return your siddur to another drop area.
- When entering the Sanctuary, please find a seat in the lower bowl with a marking placed on it and make sure that there are at least three (3) empty seats between you and the nearest fellow worshiper.
- Family members who are living and isolating in the same home may sit together but please ensure that there are three (3) empty seats on either side of your family grouping.
- Listen to all instructions provided to you by our Cantor, staff and on-duty ushers.
- We have enhanced and increased our COVID-19 sanitization protocols. Extensive cleaning and disinfecting will take place on a regular schedule including just prior to and following prayer services.
