WCT Update (April 12, 2021)

We are in a moment of hopeful, impatient waiting.

As more and more people are vaccinated and we begin to plan for to in-person activities, the Coronavirus Task Force would like to hear from you. Follow this link to take a short survey about re-entry. By completing the survey you'll be entered in the draw to win a $50 AMEX gift certificate or a contribution to the charity of your choice. It should only take about 5 minutes of your time. Note that your name is optional and will only be used to identify the winner. The survey will close on Wednesday.

We have started to consider allowing small outdoor gatherings, including B’nai Mitzvah services on the lawn, as we closely watch the number of COVID cases per 100,000 residents of Westchester County.

Although almost 25% of county residents are fully vaccinated infection rates remain at levels last seen in the week leading into Thanksgiving. And there is widespread concern about more contagious variants of the virus that affect younger people.

We continue to balance the need to be together with the need to keep each other safe. Our guideline is for cases per 100,000 in the county to drop below 30 before we begin small indoor gatherings. Group size will increase as the infection rate drops, which we fervently hope will happen quickly.

 As we work on getting vaccinated, here are a few other things you can do:

• Ask for help or offer to help by sending an e-mail to caring@wct.org. Need groceries delivered to you or want to shop for someone? Have an activity idea? Please reach out!
• Pick up the phone. Call someone you haven't talked to in a while. We can all use a friendly voice as we wait out January.
• Our clergy want to connect with you and offer whatever pastoral care you need. You can reach them at (914) 592-7070 or by email: Rabbi Billy (rabbi@wct.org), Rabbi Mara (rabbimara@wct.org), and Cantor Lance (cantor@wct.org).

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​As we return to indoor programming, we will prioritize Shabbat evening and B'nai Mitzvah services, family and religious school-related events, and opportunities for adults to connect in-person. We'll remain mindful that there are those who can't join in-person events, and we will find ways to be inclusive in the hybrid world.

We look forward to being together again in body, not just in spirit.

In the meantime, if you need to come to Woodlands in person for any reason, please complete the COVID-19 Screening Questionnaire on the day you will be coming. You must be able to answer "No" to all questions in order to come. Thank you for helping to keep our community safe, strong, and healthy.
