Update from the CEHV Board of Trustees

Dear CEHV Members,

We have made the difficult, yet prudent, decision to cancel both services and Hebrew School this weekend. We strongly encourage you to live-stream one or both of our services, which can be done directly from our website or by going directly to https://venue.streamspot.com/377608d0. Samara will be in touch with parents in regards to classwork that can be worked on at home. We will be making a week-by-week decision about services and Hebrew school so please check the website, email, and social media for updates.

Thank you all for your patience and understanding during this time.

Sincerely,
The CEHV Board of Trustees

Message from President Leslie Kidder

Our Congregation prides itself on our sense of community and our frequent events and services. During this time of concern about Covid-19 and the many unknowns that come with it, we will be relying on local medical professionals, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Ulster County Health Department to advise us on the safety of hosting events and school at CEHV.

The Executive Board, in consultation with the planners, has decided to cancel the Second Night Seder and the Women's Seder. We can not predict what will happen in the next month and we want to avoid low attendance or last-minute cancellations.

We will be posting and sending frequent updates to keep you all apprised and will make decisions about large events coming up on our calendar as we go, keeping in mind that safety is our foremost concern. We ask that, if you or any member of your family is feeling at all under the weather, please stay home. This will keep us all safer.

The CDC has additional information about the symptoms and travel guidelines.

Thank you,

Leslie Kidder

President, Congregation Emanuel of the Hudson Valley
