It is our desire to offer everyone a positive experience during these challenging times, and to keep all of us safe. Here are a a few possibilities for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services and we would appreciate an immediate response of your thoughts in order to assist us with the planning. It is so important for to keep our Judaism in our hearts to assist us in life, especially during these trying times. Thank you for your input! Option 1: If the governor/local health officials permit, I would be interested in services at Chabad of S. Petersburg, with social distancing and masks. It is likely these would be shorter services (focusing on key prayers) to both limit the time together and allow for shifts of smaller groups to attend (with sanitizing between groups). We will not be able to offer our a Rosh Hashana Dinner this year. Yes, I would be interested in this option No, I would not be comfortable in any indoor services at this time I am not yet sure yet and would need to decide closer to the Holidays Option 2: We have the availability of a large hotel ballroom which will allow for proper yet comfortable social distancing/mask wearing etc... Yes, I would attend with this set up No, I would not be comfortable with any indoor service at this time Option 3: If the governor/local health officials permit, I would be interested in a short services OUTDOORS in a tent, again with social distancing and masks. Yes I might consider this option but would prefer Option #1 or 2 - indoors as above Yes this choice seems to be the best fit right now I would consider attending an expanded TASHLICH/SHOFAR service outdoors but would not sit in an outdoor shelter for a longer period of time No, I would not be comfortable with any in-person services this year If you feel most comfortable staying at home this year, which of the following "at home" options might interest you (Choose all that are applicable). I would appreciate Chabad offering a VIRTUAL SERVICE whenever possible, for example, singing Kol Nidrei and Yom Kippur melodies together on the Eve of Yom Kippur just before sunset. I would appreciate Chabad printing "at home guides" with a selection of the key prayers and insights to be recited and studied at home I would appreciate Chabad arranging someone to blow the Shofar for us outside our home on Rosh Hashana I would appreciate frequent zoom sessions in the days before the High Holidays focusing on particular prayers - their tunes, history and meaning Please share any other comments/feedback.
