Minyan Guidelines & Registration

Please note: These criteria allow one to choose to attend a minyan, they do not obligate one to do so; one is certainly entitled to be more cautious and continue to daven at home. 

Who Can Register and Attend?

You may only register and attend a YICC minyan if you are free from ALL of the COVID-19 symptoms as described by the CDC such as cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing,  fever, chills, muscle pain, sore throat, new loss of taste or smell.  Anyone without these specific symptoms but does not feel well may not attend.

If you have been infected with COVID-19 or have self-quarantined because of exposure to an individual infected with or suspected to have been infected with COVID-19, you must be symptom free for at least 2 weeks before attending.

We encourage those over the age of 65 or in a high-risk group (e.g. diabetic, high blood pressure, heart or lung disease etc.) to consult with their physician before attending a Minyan at this time.

Children are allowed to attend but they must wear a mask and remain with their accompanying adult at all times.

If after registering you are no longer able to adhere to the above guidelines, please notify the Minyan coordinator as soon as possible and under no circumstances attend a Minyan, even if it means leaving a particular group without ten.

Minyan Locations and Registration

During the week Minyanim for Shacharit and Mincha/Maariv will be taking place at YICC only. On Shabbat there will be Friday night and Shabbat morning Minyanim taking place at YICC as well as multiple outdoor, satellite locations throughout the neighborhood.

Guidelines For Attending ANY YICC Shul or Satellite Minyan

• Pre-registration is required for ALL minyanim. Please do not visit minyanim you are not registered for.
• A mask must be worn, covering the nose and mouth, the entire time you are present at the minyan.
• Attendees must be willing to have their temperature checked before entry.
• All attendees must stay in your marked and designated location from when you arrive until you leave.
• Attendees MUST sit separately, even members of the same household. (This is to enable attendees to abide by the markings and designated areas, whereas if families sit together the pre-marked measurements will become inaccurate).
• Arrive ON TIME both for safety and as a courtesy to the mitpallelim.
• Bring all your own needed items (siddur, tallit/tefillin). None of these items will be provided.
• For Satellite Minyanim, there will NOT BE ACCESS TO A BATHROOM. Please choose a Satellite minyan in close proximity to your home or consider choosing to attend a Minyan at YICC where there will be access if needed.
• Immediately notify the minyan coordinator if you develop any COVID-19 symptoms/concerns. Do not wait for more formal medical consultation and/or testing for confirmation. Do not attend minyanim until the symptoms and concerns are resolved, as determined by a competent medical professional.
