Ready or not the High Holy Days of the Jewish calendar are upon us. This is the time of year when we are asked to practice self-examination, seek forgiveness and make amends. Is there anyone we need to ask for forgiveness? Is there anything we need to do to seek reconciliation? Are there circumstances when it is better to leave someone alone rather than try to heal the breach? These are the question we ponder this time of year.

Per the CDC we are now at the Medium risk level in Knox County. Masking continues to be required in the building for ages 2+. During Sunday services, masking is voluntary for speakers and singers and the congregation may sing while remaining masked. The Lizzie Crozier French room will be available as a designated viewing space for those who would prefer to be in a smaller group. Room A will also be available for families with children who prefer an area where children may play during the service.  In the Fellowship Hall and kitchen people may unmask while actively eating or drinking. The full Covid policy can be viewed online here.
