Dear YIOS Shul Members,

As a Shul family and a Jewish Community, we are faced with how to navigate a world with the COVID-19 VIRUS and a difficult economic situation.

There are many resources of how best to deal with the medical aspects of the virus and ways to be prepared. A community health and safety hotline has been arranged for questions related to how to contact the CDC, how to arrange testing, and how to obtain resources in a case of quarantine. The number is 224-534-9867.

This past Shabbat, Rabbi Schaffel spoke about how we should conduct ourselves in Shul as it relates to the current medical concerns. Bottom line practice good hygiene and be respectful of others in the shul. If you choose to kiss mezuzahs or the Torah or shake hands that is your decision. But please respect the decision of others.

YIOS is more than a place to daven, we are a community and a family. As such we try and help each other in many ways. In addition to ways we help each other through life cycle events and in times of need, we are expanding how we as a Kahal, can help each other during these challenging times.

• If you or a family member are in voluntary or forced quarantine, we will work with you to see that you have food and household items during this time.
• If you or a family member G-d forbid, are ill, we will work with you to see you have food and household items during your illness.
• We have set up a special financial Gemach. If you are experiencing serious financial difficulties because of the medical and current financial situation, we will provide help to the extent we can.
• Members who need help during quarantine or illness, please contact either Rabbi Schaffel, Ralph Siegel, or Ellen Cohen.
• If you need financial assistance contact Rabbi Schaffel, who will work with you in complete confidentiality.
• We urge any shul member who can be called upon to help to contribute to the Gemach, to contact Rabbi Schaffel.

With Ha’Shem’s help, as a shul, a family and as a Kahal, we will work together to deal with the challenges that we are all facing.

If you have any questions, we may not have immediate answers but we will do our best to help find the answers.

Kol Tuv,

Rabbi Gershon Schaffel
