hile the Jewish Congregation of Marco Island will continue to offer events virtually for those who prefer social distancing, under consideration by our advisory Task Force and the Board of Directors, we are reopening the Synagogue for in-person services. As the president of the congregation,
I have been a proponent of allowing services in the Synagogue, with criteria that emphasizes the safety of members who choose to worship in person. With more than half of our members having completed their vaccination series, now appears the appropriate time to offer the following services commencing in May:
