Vaccine Policies

GENERAL VACCINE POLICY

It is the policy of Tifereth Israel to strongly encourage vaccination against vaccine-preventable illnesses, through signage, notifications, and educational efforts. Particular focus should be on seasonal flu and, as appropriate, requirements may be added to address public health emergencies.

Further, it continues to be TI’s policy that every student who attends the Himmelfarb school shall present documentation of vaccination in accordance with D.C. law before their enrollment in the Himmelfarb school can be confirmed.

Approved 3/14/2022 by the TI Board of Directors

COVID-19 POLICY 

Our goal is to keep COVID-19 out of our community to the extent possible.  We exepect everyone attending TI's services or events to be vaccinated and boosted for COVID-19 to the extent possible. We also currently require everyone inside the building to wear a mask, with limited exceptions, such as when delivering a drash, leading part of the service, leyning, or while eating. 

If you are not feeling well or you have been exposed to someone who is infected with COVID-19, we encourage you to stay home. 

If you attend services and subsequently test positive, please notify Rabbi Werbow right away.
