“We are in a pandemic. Talk to
your doctor. If you should not
come to shul, do not come.”
— RABBI YECHIEL MORRIS
continued from page 28
If you should not come to
shul, do not come.”
Rabbi Shaya Katz indi-
cated that while the Young
Israel of Oak
Park has not yet
set its plans as
of late August,
it contemplates
a similar set of
three services,
with two out-of-
doors and one inside.
Rabbi Sasson Natan at
Keter Torah Synagogue, the
Sephardic syn-
agogue in West
Bloomfield, plans
to hold services
in the sanctu-
ary, but with
reduced atten-
dance. “Every
third chair will be available.
All other chairs will be
removed,” he said.
On Sunday, the shofar
will be sounded outside in
the parking lot, weather and
security concerns permit-
ting. If the shofar has to be
indoors, Rabbi Sasson antic-
ipates having two soundings
in separate areas.
Rabbi Sasson added that
the synagogue will provide
hand sanitizer; “of course,
everyone will have a mask,”
and “no hugging, no kiss-
ing — very hard for us, a
Mediterranean people.”
Young Israel of Southfield
will not use a tent, fol-
lowing the advice of its
medical team. But other
congregations plan to have
services under tents for
shade and protection from
rain. Kehillat Etz Chayim
in Huntington Woods, for
example, according to Rabbi
Asher Lopatin, will hold
services outdoors under an
open tent in the spacious
backyard of a congregant.
Worshippers will have to
register in advance, so
Kehillat Etz Chayim can
limit the number at each of
two consecutive services on
Rosh Hashanah morning.
At Ohel Moed of Shomrey
Emunah in West Bloomfield,
Rabbi Levi Yitzchak Jundef
has arranged for services
to take place under a tent.
Congregation Or Chadash
in Oak Park similarly plans
to set up a large tent in the
backyard of congregant,
with widely spaced seats and
everyone in masks. Rabbi
Azaryah Cohen has stream-
lined the service in accor-
dance with Jewish law.
At the Woodward Avenue
Shul in Royal Oak, Rabbi M.
M. Polter plans a tent in the
synagogue parking lot and
adjacent area, holding spaces
for anyone who reserves in
advance. The synagogue will
provide bottled water.
