COVID-19 UPDATE

The Re-gathering and Safety and Security Committees of CKI stated from the very beginning that the health policies would be re-evaluated periodically as conditions changed. In accordance with our practice,  we are changing our COVID-19 policies to reflect the changing times and the latest CDC guidelines. We continue to take the needs of our members, guests, and staff, especially the most vulnerable amongst us with the utmost concern for "pekuach nefesh," saving a life. The building remains open for a full range of synagogue programming.

While we had required vaccination cards sent to the office, we are dropping that requirement. We continue to urge vaccination with boosters.
