Coming in person?

The safety and health of our Ohev Shalom family is our highest priority. With the recent dramatic spike in COVID-19 cases, driven by the Delta variant, the CDC has recommended that fully vaccinated people wear a facemask in public indoor settings in areas of substantial or high transmission. This includes the State of Florida.

Beginning July 28, 2021, facemasks will be required for all congregants and visitors entering the synagogue. We will remain open for kiddush luncheon, and facemasks may be removed when seated at a table for meals.

Although we are disappointed that a reversal in our facemask policy is necessary, we know you share our commitment to the welfare of our staff, clergy and congregants.
Respect the different comfort levels of fellow congregants. Some may be fine chatting but without physical contact. Others are good with an elbow or fist-bump, while some are ready for a hug. It is okay to ask!
Practice good hygiene by washing hands regularly or using hand sanitizer. Sanitizer dispensers are available in the lobby and sanctuary, including a touchless automatic dispenser in the lobby.
The Play & Pray Room at the back of the sanctuary is available for single-family use by reservation or, if not reserved, on a first come, first-served basis.
Some rows in the sanctuary will remain closed for social distancing as indicated by gold ropes.

Hearing Loop Installed

Congregation Ohev Shalom has installed a Hearing Loop in the sanctuary, chapel, and ballrooms. This is to assist those with hearing loss hear more clearly during services. A Hearing Loop is an assistive listening system that transmits sound directly into one’s hearing aids or cochlear implants rather than depending on sound coming from the loudspeakers. To receive the Loop signal and hear more clearly, you will need to manually activate your T-coil or “telephone” setting on your hearing aid or cochlear implant. If you don’t know if you have a T-coil or whether yours is properly programmed, consult with your audiologist or hearing aid professional. If you don’t wear hearing aids, ask to use a Loop receiver to receive the sound.
