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.

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.
