Erev Yom Kippur, 15 September 2021

 

Dear Community Member,
 

Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the Jewish calendar. Whilst the most important mitzvot of the day relate to fasting and avoiding work, prayer is an essential part of the day. 
We are fortunate and grateful that the community has been given the green light by NSW Health to conduct short outdoor services within strict guidelines.
 

Below you will find the times and locations for the services on Yom Kippur Day, Thursday, 16th September 2021. 
 

It is imperative that we as a community adhere to the guidelines to ensure both the safety and the image of the community.

Please read the following instructions carefully:

• There is an exemption for someone to lead a short service, not for lengthy or complete services.

• Attendees over the age of 16 must be fully vaccinated (two doses) and evidence must be available.

• Attendees must remain socially distant from all other groups or household units.
