Congregation Shema Yisrael Coronavirus Update
Due to the continuing situation regarding Coronavirus in our region, Congregation Shema Yisrael is taking the precautions recommended by the Monroe County Health Department and the CDC. We are suspending our in person services for the present, and will be moving to having our services online. We will be livestreaming our entire service on our Facebook page. If you are not on Facebook you can easily get an account and have access.
We will also be broadcasting the service via a Zoom conference. You can access Zoom via a smartphone app or at zoom.us on your computer. The meeting ID# is 959-533-382, and the password is 12345. Please note that you will be muted and not be allowed to share your screen.
We will also record the entire service and post the audio and video on our website later in the day. The links will be sent to the “Prayer and Podcast” list and posted on our Facebook page. If you are not on the “Prayer and Podcast” list, please send an email request to the office email at shemayisraelrochester@gmail.com.
Our office will continue to function, while being moved to several different locations. Phone calls, mail and emails will still be answered, and any questions that you have will be answered as soon as we are able to get to them. Please continue to mail your donations to our Scottsville office, or donate online on our website.
Sharing Our Bread will take place at 2 p.m. on Saturdays if we have enough donations to warrant it. It will be on a first come, first serve basis, and we will be limiting the number of people allowed in at a time.
Thank you for your patience and grace as we go through this transition. We are praying you all have good health, and may we all use this time to grow closer to our Messiah!
