A Message From Our Presidium
COVID-19 Update
We have re-opened the Kol Yisrael building to the public for most activities based on CDC Guidelines. Whether you are fully vaccinated for COVID-19 or not vaccinated, a face mask is required in all areas of the building. We have a Friday night service on Zoom prior to Shabbat with Rabbi Jacob. Shabbat morning services are broadcast via Zoom, in addition to the on site attendance. Please check our Facebook page for links, if not available on our website. For questions contact, our Synagogue office at 562-5604 or Rabbi Jacob at 610-656-7345. Stay Safe.

Congregation Agudas Israel High Holiday Plans
Congregation Agudas Israel, on the Kol Yisrael Campus at 290 North Street, Newburgh, is again holding High Holiday Services in person and via Zoom. Services will be led by our wonderful Rabbi Jacob Rosner with the award-winning bass-baritone Benjamin Sokol serving as cantor. While reservations are required by calling the synagogue office at 845-562-5604, there is no charge for services, and donations are appreciated. All are welcome but must wear masks, and prior proof of vaccination status is required for ages 12 and over. This year, Rosh Hashanah is from the evening of September 6 through September 8, and Yom Kippur is from the evening of September 15 through September 16. Click here for our full holiday schedule.
We will simultaneously stream services via Zoom. Although we had hoped that we would be past this unprecedented time, we are still very much at risk in contracting this terrible illness. Therefore, in accordance with the CDC and Orange County Department of Health, we are again putting in place protocols to protect you and your family.
Currently, this includes:
1. Proof of vaccination for those 12 years of age or older.
2. Wearing of a mask in ALL indoor areas at all times for persons over the age of 2.
3. 6 foot social distancing between family groups.
4. Separate entrances/exits for CAI and TBJ and separate bathroom usage.
5. There will be no babysitting available. All children are welcome to attend the services.
***These protocols are subject to change (more or less restricted) based on the CDC guidelines in place at the time of the service.***
As noted, we are asking that you please provide a copy or photo of your Proof of Vaccination in advance of coming to the services. This can be done by sending it in an email as an attachment, by fax, or by stopping into the office and having it photocopied. For any questions regarding vaccination requirements, please contact: Sharon Kelson, kelsonsl@aol.com or 914-213-4005(cell#).
Please click this link https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/82959VZ to complete a survey regarding your attendance. Because we will be assigning seating in advance, we will need to know, by Friday, August 27, 2021, the names of your family members that plan on attending.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we strive to maintain the highest level of safety for our community.
L'shanah tovah tikateivu v'teichateimu.
